Turning off the lights is one of the single greatest things you can do for your local ecosystem, bar none. Speaking specifically to fireflies, they like to lay eggs in thick grass and leaf litter as well - keeping leaf mould piles, leaving areas of grass unmowed, and using mowed grass as mulch can help to provide these amazing creatures with additional opportunities for survival in your area.

I haven't seen one in years, and I miss them so much.
I'm noticing them more at my house in a small city this Summer more than I have previously. We went camping in the woods over the weekend and I saw a ton of them out there. I was on shrooms but my friends that weren't confirmed they were flashing like crazy.
