"Fireworks" is the second album by the hard rock band Bonfire. It was released in 1987 on the label BMG International with two different covers, the world-wide one had a patterned siminal to a decorated vault door while the North American version was simply four pictures of each band member in each corner of the cover. This album was recorded with a guest drummer, Ken Mary from Fifth Angel, because the band's drummer was fired during the writing sessions. A new drummer was hired just before the band toured in support of "Fireworks". In 2003, the album was certified a Gold seller. Originally the band had recorded 25 songs, settling on 11 tracks.
