Fireworks can pose a significant fire risk, particularly in natural environments like national parks. They can also cause harm to wildlife, disturb the peace, and result in litter. The ban is a preventative measure aimed at protecting the park’s unique ecosystem and maintaining a serene environment for visitors.
Visitors are urged to respect the prohibition and enjoy the natural beauty of the Buffalo National River without the use of fireworks. The National Park Service is keen on ensuring that everyone has a safe, peaceful, and enjoyable visit while preserving the park’s natural resources for future generations.
