Fireworks were banned in our city...since Jan of this year. When I was a kid, we always celebrated Fourth of July and New Years Eve with fireworks... wasn't big either.  Awhile ago the city banned aerials..now they banned it all...even sparklers.  

Always the idiots that mess around with fireworks that get hurt by making home-made bombs, bonfire, etc. Instead of going after the idiots, they put a total ban on it.  So much for tradition.

was it cause it was so dry?

[davidf938]

They are banned in most populated areas such as cities and towns because of the fire hazzard. Most areas have a public display that all can attend. Its so dry this year that any open flame is a hazzard.

They banned them here around New Year's. That didn't stop anyone from doing it though.

I can take or leave fireworks. They have them in my area only for about 10 minutes instead of the usual 30-45 minutes.

We had fireworks but also had alot of fires to go with them. people got careless with them and started fires.

  That is pretty sad to your small town. My town is the biggest town in my state, not like a crowded city but still a town, they still let people shooting but only over 18.

alot of fireworks were banned around here but citys should be the only one shooting them off

I live in Virginia and probably Virginia and South Carolina are the two most liberal states when it comes to fireworks, there are stands everywhere around 4th of july selling fireworks. In certain areas of the state and Maryland they were also banned or cities not doing their Firework events because of the heat and the trees are so dry that they could catch fire. This maybe the case in your area, just remember the event out in the midwest, I think it was Oklahoma was found out to be caused by someone with a flair gun. These fires have caused over 400 houses to be burned to the ground and last heard was still only 70 percent contained. It is better to be safe then sorry!!!

they were not banned here but you can only use those that dont get higher than about 2 ft.

[Ilona69c]

There banned in most places now.

Why do they ban fireworks? There are going to be stupid people doing stupid things whether they use legally bought or illegally bought fireworks! Or their gonna get smart and make their damn own which would be even worse...i just don't get it, do you?

They are ban where I live too, but people still light them up anyway.
