Fizzing firework (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squib

(Other definitions for squib that I've seen before include "Firework, burns with a fizzing noise" , "Firecracker" , "one burns before producing report" , "piece of satire" , "Firework (perhaps damp!)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
