Eight cities and towns in Arizona have canceled their Fourth of July fireworks shows due to the state's drought conditions and fire risks.
Flagstaff, Williams, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Cave Creek and Show Low have all announced that their Independence Day events will not include fireworks this year.
On Tuesday, Heber-Overgaard and Chino Valley announced that their fireworks would not happen.
But, that does not mean the entire celebration is kaput.
