Are you hearing fireworks?

I can hear fireworks outside my window right now. Fireworks are legal in the town I live in. They can be shot off until 11pm and then on July 4th they can be shot off until midnight. I guess I get used to them after awhile.

It's almost Canada DAy, so we're bound to hear some fireworks here in Guelph. My husbad is scared of fire works, ecaus they trigger combat related flashbacks to when he was in Viet Nam. When we are together, we try to avoid ire works.

I heard someone popping fireworks Saturday night. It scared me I thought someone was shooting. Its legal to pop fireworks in the area I live in. I think they should be popped on the fourth, not a week or couple of days before.

I don't live in a rural area, but instead I live in a busy suburb. Fireworks are illegal here, but here's the kick; my neighbor across the street who is a retired fireman has been getting fireworks for his kids to ignite for years now. It's like a war zone on my block between nine and eleven at night so we either try to stay in on the fourth or go out somewhere until it's all over. Fireworks are more noisy and dangerous than anything else and every year someone gets badly hurt.

I have heard several fireworks this evening (6/29) in my neighborhood. I'll hear a lot of them until after July 4. I usually hear them through August. Then on New Years. And whatever other occasion they can find to shoot them off. Oh, I always hear them on graduation night, too. Last year, one house down the street was burned by neighbors' fireworks. The family who lived in the house was away on vacation. Since so many in the neighborhood was shooting them off, they don't know whose caught it on fire. It was a few hours later when the flames took over after smoldering. I don't think fireworks should be allowed within city limits, except for the official ones at the park display where there are firemen and other officials in charge.

Hi Friend ,Those fireworks are imported from India...I am an Indian living near a city that exports fireworks..why dont you enjoy the fireworks ...Which make colors in the clear sky....

As I have grown older I am finding myself feeling the same way that you do. It upsets my dog and the air gets heavy with smoke. I also worry about how dry this season has been and that fires will get started. I am really in favor of the city putting on a big display and watching it from a distance. No threat of fires and no one gets hurts. I avoid large crowds and noise. I do enjoy a good display though!

Yes the fireworks are going off in out town too. But it is illegal untill July 2nd. if the police fines who sets them off they will get a ticket. After that they can set them off untill 11:00 and on the 4ht untill 12:00.

I know how you feel, I used to live in a rural part of the Hill Country, and the kids around there did the same thing. However, for me it was more that just irritating, as I was a volunteer firefighter, and kids pay no attention to what is around them or how dry the conditions are. We were called out on several fires every year that were set off by kids setting off fireworks in a dry area. I have always loved celebrating the 4th, because of it's meaning. And I love watching a fireworks show, however, I wish they would ban sells of fireworks to the general public, and leave it to the ones that put on the shows. I know there are a few, but for the most part the general public does not use good sense when setting off fireworks.

I know there are alot of fireworks that go off around here even before June.I'm not sure why they start selling them so early but there should be a law.

I say let people celebrate however they want to celebrate, whether its popping fireworks all night or not doesn't bother me any, I myself like popping fireworks, I grew up doing it, and now all my nephews like to do it. I live in a rural area also, and I know alot of people out here do it, but for some reason I can't hear anything while I'm in the house, unless I go outside then I hear them. But the houses around here aren't very close together, we have alot of farmland around us.

everytime i hear the popping of fireworks, i feel nervous maybe because i have seen my son popping the fireworks but because his hand is wet he never throw it and pop it on his head. his hand and ear are injured.

The people pop fireworks just for proud of nation, it's independence. I think is same with 10.1 day in our nation. We have some holidays for it, but no fireworks.you will be good after sometimes, don't angry.

I hear none yet.... But they banned all airbourne firworks in California didnt they?..Well even if they did i have a feeling that theres gonna be lights up in the sky come the 4th.

Yes it can be annoying since we have moved I don't hear them that much here it is the 30th of June and I haven't heard any yet. I do know we can't assume these kids or adults that are lightening these fire works do not or are not being taught what the forth of july is all about. Now I see it this way if a person can and has the money to light fireworks everyday of their life because they like them or for whatever reason then more power to them. But I think there should be a cut off time at night when they should stop due to the fact some people do work the next day and do need their sleep. Here is South Carolina you can buy them all year round and July 4th and New Years are the main selling days and few weeks before eac of those holidays stands pop up everywhere. When I lived in California where I lived it was illegal to have them so you know we heard them every night for couple weeks before and a week or so after the 4th. I had to be up early for work so yes was annoying but I got me some soft comfortable ear plus around that time. lol But remember hun fireworks are not what make the 4th and well am sure everyone that is in US long enough know about the what the 4th of July is to the US.

i am in canada and our day is tomorrow (july 1) and i have heard fireworks since friday night (as some people have made it a long weekend) we saw some outside last night and the night before and will be going to a display on tuesday night and while i love fireworks, i hate the noise too!

We live in a rural area and the teens that rent the trailer down the road from us have already started shooting fireworks. So much for peaceful, country living.....

You know what? Come to think of it, I've not heard fireworks being shot off yet. I moved to this small town last October and it's really pretty quiet compared to where I used to live. For several years, I lived in a town that is quite a bit bigger than where I am and there were fireworks shot off from 2 weeks before the 4th of July 'til about halfway through the month. Two summers ago, I sat on my porch and watched the fireworks in the neighborhood. I believe that fireworks should be illegal everywhere and the only ones allowed to use them would be those who are trained and licensed. The fireworks would be used for celebrations such as 4th of July and New Year's Eve.

the children are supposed to know why they could be popping firework in july, i guess that some of them will asked their mom or day that question, however if happen any children really don't know the reason why we are popping firework it proves that they don't care about it. and they would not keep it in mind even if you told him several time.

i don't have any idea for this quation
