I read with interest the articles supporting the sale and use of fireworks – both legal and those purchased on tribal land.
In my view, there is little, if any difference between the two – both are problematic.
Some of the worst fires have been the result of safe and sane “Bee’s” or “Jumping Jacks.”
In my 35-plus years as a Kent firefighter, I can say unequivocally that there will be: 1. a structure fire as the result of fireworks; and 2. someone will be suffer an injury. These events are predictable and preventable.
Why do we continue to sanction such an outcome under the guise of patriotism?
