Dear Editor:

What can we do as a community to stop the constant barrage of fireworks we are experiencing on a nightly basis?

It is worse than it has ever been and it’s only early June! I can’t imagine what early July is going to sound like.

I know our PD and FD have their hands full. When the explosions sound close I want to call, but on the other hand I don’t want to add to the tremendous amount of calls they surely must already be receiving.

Unless someone actually sees someone light one there isn’t much that can be done. By the time PD arrives on a street, it’s too late.

What type of person thinks this is fun or funny? Some really lonely, sad and deranged individual who isn’t getting enough attention I guess.

Lighting fireworks and disturbing entire neighborhoods is like scum hiding in the shadows. My hope is that when our awesome Police Department does catch some of these morons, no warnings are given. Take whatever the law allows to the max.

And our poor pets! My dog is going nuts and is scared to death. Somehow this has to stop.
