So no fireworks shows

[Natasha]

I can understand telling the public they can't shoot them off but they shouldn't cancel the big shows put on by professionals. Every one I go to is conducted with the fire department on-site beside the shooters to handle any small fire that starts from the falling remains of the shells.

That's exactly the point I was about to make. Our fire department ALWAYS has an area set up where they are on standby to douse any fires that start. I get banning regular people, but the big shows can easily have safety precautions in place. We are under a burn ban as well but ours went on anyway, with the fire department on stand by as usual.

On a side note, I did have a grass fire that started in someone's backyard last night b/c fireworks in the neighborhood landed in their backyard.

The county I live in has banned all fireworks shows this 4th of July due to the dry conditions, and our wild fires we have burning in our state. What sucks it I live about 1/2 a mile from a Mountain that we always have our biggest display. I was looking foward to sitting out front, drinking some beer and watching up close.

Anyone else having thier Fireworks shows cancelled?
