WATCH: One Of Idaho's Most Forbidden Fireworks Detonates In Pool

This year's Fourth of July celebration is going to be massive in the United States as our 250th anniversary as an independent nation arrives in a few days.

Idaho police will again be watching neighborhoods like hawks for illegal fireworks use, and a handful of pyrotechnic devices will result in a visit from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) if they are lit off in the Gem State.

Back in the early two-thousands, we lit off a firework that was left in our garage by a guest at our Fourth of July party that had a label that was completely worn off. We sat on this thing for years, and when we realized the owner had no intentions of coming back for it, we took it to a mall parking lot and lit the fuse. It turned out the firework was one of the most illegal ever constructed, and it's very rare that people come across them today.

The firework we lit that evening turned out to be a Tommy Gun, which fires a couple hundred mortars in less than three minutes. It was one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed in my life.

If you plan on partaking in the detonating of fireworks during America's freedom holiday, make sure you DO NOT have any of the following devices on hand, as they will result in fines and possibly an arrest, according to the folks at Phantom Fireworks:

1. M-80 Cherry Bomb

2. M-100 Ash Can

3. M-250 Quarter Stick

4. M-1000 Half Stick

Don't get arrested this Fourth of July in Idaho.
