What makes orange fireworks?
The origin of fireworks go back about a thousand years, when the Chinese invented black powder. This black powder continues to be a major component of modern day fireworks. Pyrotechnic compositions have an oxidiser, fuel, and special effects, which produce the different colors.
ORANGE fireworks are created by calcium salts, such as calcium chloride and calcium sulfate. The range of wavelengths associated with orange fireworks includes several bands, 591-599nm, with the most intense band being 603-608nm.

Americans gather together in large groups on holidays which are either based upon our independence or on our religious freedoms. They will probably be looking for soft targets.
I think they will be planting chatter and probably have in the past as a diversion.

I was thinking more like "rockets' red glare" when I shoot off my fireworks out in the country.
