Are people having issues with people shooting off fireworks at night in your area?

Yes, people have been shooting fireworks off every night for a few weeks now. They've been far enough away so they're not too loud, but I can still see them usually. My dog seems fine with it so far.

We live a few miles from the city, but I've been hearing people complaining fireworks are going off every night sometimes up to midnight.

Not yet, but every year it starts about 8p and doesn't stop till after midnight!!  Now that they sell them in tents on the streets here, anyone can buy and set them off.. Many wildfires in my state now, I'm afraid this will just get worse.

Not yet, but it will start about the first. Where I live all the little towns have their own firework display, and they start July 1st through July 5th

Usually people start a day before

They have been shooting firecrackers for weeks and some bigger fire works as well.  It is illegal in the city even on the 4th but nobody says anything. If anybody complains they police drive thru the area and just report back they did not see anybody.  They don't want to get involved in anything.  I been running a fan at night so I don't hear it as much.

No issues where I live, but I have read that they have been going off more and more frequently.

I haven't heard any fireworks yet.  It is getting closer to the 4th Of July, so I imagine folks will be shooting them off this weekend and throughout the 4th.

I hope our City still plans to have Fireworks on the 4th.  They shoot off a nice display over the lake.  Great time for family!!

I don't know about my state, it may be, I know several surrounding counties it is illegal.  It is illegal here in the city limits but I don't think it is out in the county. People shoot them any way and usually on the 4th the police do not say much. Where I live I can see others so I will watch them sometimes, depends on how hot and muggy it is and if there are a lot of bugs :D . It is funny people saying they don't have any money but are wasting $30 for ONE firework. smh  The people behind me shoot some big ones but you can't see them from my house for the trees.

I just read that Minneapolis had almost 300 complaints about fireworks this June, which is 30 times more than last year. I'm not in Minneapolis, but I've heard fireworks nearly every night since the George Floyd incident. Not sure if they're related or just coincidence.  ???

No so far no fireworks - still a week to the fourth of July though and that may change some things.
