ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) – If you plan to set off (legal) fireworks at home or party outside for the Fourth of July, be careful. According to the N.C. Drought Advisory Council, Buncombe County, and pretty much all of North Carolina, is experiencing abnormally dry or drought conditions, so keep fireworks in an open – preferably paved – area and away from anything that might catch fire. And be careful with fire pits or other activities that spark a wildfire.
