#honolulu fireworks ban

For the neighbor islands, there were a total of 7 injuries, the lowest combined total for recorded to date. The breakdown included four injuries on Kauai, 2 in Hawaii County and 4 injuries in Maui County.

There are more fireworks for sale on Maui this year, with enough product to supply 600 permits, or three million permit-type firecrackers. The increase in stock comes as O’ahu spends their first New Year under a consumer fireworks ban that went into effect on Jan. 2, 2011.

Hawaiis air quality during the New Years fireworks festivities improved from last year, despite an increase in the amount of smoke in the air.
