To my knowledge, no symphony is referred to as the "Fireworks" symphony. You may be thinking of the "Royal Fireworks Music", a suite, not a symphony, which was written by Handel, or (a long shot) a short orchestral piece by Stravinsky called "Fireworks".

There are many famous pieces that were composed by Handel, "The Messiah", "Music For The Royal Fireworks!, "Zadok the Priest", and "Xerxes" are some that spring to mind.
Handel's fireworks music
FalseIt could be an aria, a cantata, a song.Searching on the word suite doesn't bring up anything vocal. In the 17th century a suite was a set of interrelated pieces for a solo instrument or an orchestra. Bach wrote suites for cello, for violin, for keyboard and for orchestra. A suite could also be a selection of pieces from a larger work, like Handel's Water Music Suite, made of pieces from a large set he wrote to be played as his King's barge floated down the Thames, or his Suite from the Music For The Royal Fireworks.

George Frideric Handel wrote those pieces.

George Frideric Handel composed "The Water Music" in 1717 for a royal outing on the Thames River, aiming to entertain King George I and his court with lively and festive music. Similarly, "Music for the Royal Fireworks," written in 1749, was commissioned to celebrate the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, marking the end of the War of the Austrian Succession. Both works reflect Handel's ability to create grand, celebratory music suited for royal occasions, enhancing the festive atmosphere of these events.

The music for the Royal Fireworks was composed in 1749 for the celebration of the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen) which brought to an end the War of Austrian succession. First performed in Green Park, London on 27 April 1949, the fireworks set fire to parts of the venue. There was a rout and everything came to an abrupt end. Another performance was given some weeks later - without fireworks - and was a great success.
Henry John Gauntlett (1805-76) wrote the music, and the words are by Cecil Frances Alexander.
