    Why do we put up with fireworks ???????
    Every year …It burns homes, cars, injures kids and firemen at $$costs$$ we don’t want to think about.
    It smokes up our air (we have tried so hard to clean up) and puts people with asthma at risk. It is like driving behind a diesel truck all night.
    And don’t forget… those who are trying to sleep at night can’t do so because of all the NOISE the next door neighbor is making.
    It also rattles the nerves of every pet.
    Why not leave the fireworks to the professional shows. It would be safer, the shows are usually farther away from homes and are over before bedtime.
