      Whaaaatt noooo, we’re only in the middle of a climate crisis and following a yearly tradition to release a metric fuckton of heat and pollution, it’s always patriotism before everything!

    If it’s after midnight, and there are mortar shells going off less than 100’ from my small childeren’s windows, I’m calling. Not 911, just the non emergency number, but fuck your celebration after quiet hours, some of us work early jobs for a living and can’t be trying to calm hysterical kids all night who can’t sleep because of the booming.

        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
