I don't shoot fireworks. I'm too afraid that I would start a fire.

We don't. I don't know if the housing association would appreciate it, haha. I'm not going to be able to go out to celebrate this year, because I'm stuck at home with a head cold! I hope everyone has a fun, safe New Year's Eve! I'm going to sit at home with sparkling grape juice. :thumbsup: :) :party:

No, I don't ever use fireworks. I'm sure somebody will be shooting them though.

Too expensive & too dangerous to handle. My neighbors though seen to make it a loud yearly tradition. I'm just wondering, aren't you supposed to set the fire crackers off after ball goes up not before hand?

It's typically about 10 below for New Years Eve.... so no.
Title: Re: do you shoot off fireworks on new years eve
Post by: aflyingmonkey on December 31, 2016, 06:08:30 pm
It's illegal where I live to shoot off fireworks...  due to the risk of fire.
It's raining here, so I couldn't even if I wanted too.

My husband loves any reason at all to shoot off fireworks!  New Year's is just one of many!

Wow that sounds like a great use of your money :o  Hope I don't see future posts from you complaining about your financial situation 8)  Also, no matter where you are it is a fire hazard and should really be done by professionals. 8)

No.  A lot of folks around here shoot their guns.  Guess they think those bullets will go into outer space or something.

I don't even like fireworks on the 4th of July.  I don't like the fact that animals experience trauma when they hear them.

New Years Eve is all about having a drink that's spiked, fun music, socializing and a kiss at midnight, for me.   :heart:

I don't. Please don't be one of those people launching fireworks in the neighborhood at 12am in the morning.

Post by: nadinastarr on January 01, 2017, 08:15:32 am
No because most of the time we are in very dry conditions and we also have cats that do not like loud noises. Our neighbors set them off, despite being asked not to. Last night though, they set off a few around 9PM, and that was it. So they are probably going to set off more tomorrow or when it dries out more.

We and our home survived a wildfire in 2011, when many lost their homes and even their lives. I don't care to take the risk after having been through that.

I don't. Please don't be one of those people launching fireworks in the neighborhood at 12am in the morning.

I'm fine with fireworks at 12am, I expect that.  What I hate is when people set them off way past 12am, like at 3am.  Did they forget that they had firework or did they miss the count down by 3hr??

No...fireworks are illegal. But we could get a permit and buy firecrackers but it's just too expensive..not worth it.

I do not, but they seem to be going off for about a week before and after in our neighborhood.

Post by: dbsaus1 on January 06, 2017, 06:13:42 am
It is illegal here to do so. Plus we have a dog that is terrified of them. Still we have neighbors that set them off. This year it wasn't too bad tough.

I really enjoy fireworks; watching them, that is. Some of them are just too loud for my ears! I once watched a professional fireworks display in a high building just across from the display. I could see everything and the noise was minimal.

Fireworks are definitely beautiful. I used to think they were fun to set off but now I worry about people being harmed. It can happen so fast.

   It is not legal in my city. To be safe: All the fireworks take place at the Town Square and it is supervised by the local Fire Department.
