    It is in my city too, yet hundreds do it. Are you gonna call 911 on them all?

      It’s currently 110 degrees with a high wildfire risk where I live. So yes

        Gfl, you’ll just wind up pissing them off and tie up the lines for people who need it.

          You’re getting downvoted a lot, but are right. The police absolutely do not care about fireworks calls, and the increased 911 volume absolutely delays responses to more pressing calls. In my city, the police ignore fireworks calls, but the call centers get overwhelmed with angry people seeking to wield law enforcement against their neighbors. Obviously this may vary by police department, but it’s widely the case
