@duglop I hate this effing holiday with my whole heart! The booms scare the hell out of my cats and all of the wildlife. Not sure where these fools get this much disposable income because the illegal mortar rockets they're firing off cost a fortune, they're also highly unpredictable as to trajectory and premature explosion. My area sounds like a war zone still even though they started about 8 pm. I've already been through a fire in the easement. I saved my house but 2 others were destroyed.
@duglop TBH am hoping some of these idiots shooting off fireworks (they're illegal in almost the entire county & aerial fireworks are illegal in almost all states) would learn a lesson the hard way. Had the hottest day of the year so far yesterday at 105° and there's so much dry grass everywhere. FD going full tilt chasing vegetation & structure fires. I'll be up most of the night watching for spot fires in the easement behind my house and my large yard. I was yelling I hoped they'd lose a hand.
