BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Gov. Brad Little posted an important reminder on YouTube to be "fire safe" during the 4th of July weekend.
He said enjoy time with family and friends but added that one simple spark can cause a wildfire.
Fireworks can start large wildfires that can devastate our ecosystems and take generations to recover, Little said in his video message.
He encouraged people to observe all state and federal ordinances this holiday weekend, and said the safest way to enjoy Independence Day is to attend a public fireworks display.
