   Whether or not they start fires has nothing to do with it. The State of   
   California and many other states ban firing tracers as they are   
   suspected of starting fires. If you can start a fire with a hot   
   Catalytic converter in dry weeds..It does stand to reason that a tracer   
   could fir off dry weeds and grass also. It doesn't take much.
