I wouldn't think so; as long as you don't purposely do it. Of course, repeated inhaling of smoke can be harmful to your lungs.

How are fire fighting dangerous?

First of all 'fire fighting' is dangerous because the fire can burn you (duh) and the smoke will kill you. The main cause for death in a fire is due to accidental smoke inhalation because the higher toxin levels are usually around head level. Fire fighting is fine so long as you have the correct and appropriate protection. (But I highly suggest not trying unless you have permission, supervision, and again, protection)


Can being on fire make you dead?

Yes it can, but it does depend on the situation. The biggest danger to humans from fire is inhaling smoke and fumes (even before fire burns you). This can poison you and render you unconscious and unable to help yourself. You will continue to breath the poisons until you die. The fact that you may also be burned by the fire does not usually cause your death. If you catch on fire from a stove, or candle, or a camp fire, you can usually get the fire put out before it does kill you. If you become engulfed in fire such as an auto accident, you can survive if you can get yourself out quick enough or if there are others that can help you. Even badly burned, you may not necessarily die.


Are fireworks dangerous when not lit?

They could be. The only time I would think they would be dangerous is if there is a fire near, anything that produces smoke, if there are special angles of light (when you go outside and have a mirror, and angel it at something, it could catch on fire). So yes, they are pretty dangerous!
