With the fourth of July around the corner, the New Milford Fire Marshal's Office is reminding residents that fireworks are illegal in the State of Connecticut.  Sparklers are a popular activity to do with the kids but parents should be aware that they are very hot. Sparklers burn at 1800 degrees. The Fire Marshal notes that this can cause severe burns and cause a fire. The only legal fireworks are the ones that say on the package "emits showers of sparks" and recommend that they not be used by anyone under age 18.
