Fwd: fireworks...

[Guest guest]

Fort Sill started another fire last week - 2 days just north of us in Medicene Park - 13 houses burnt and 6 trailers - " inoperative " ordanance - NOT - they are paying for the 3 days or so people had to evac - the food etc - they did have 2 helos doing water drops - a Chinook and a Black Hawk - they did provide water and ice and gas for the 3500 firefighters that came in - all of the SW Oklahoma volunteer firefighters came out - 2 days for everyone - the hotspots 3 days with the local ones

Fireworks are banned in this county and several around us - we are in a state wide fire ban - duhh - triple digits and drought

I definitely know about that - in one of the projects here in town, for the last couple of years they've been setting dumpsters on fire with the fireworks - intentionally!  Last year when police and firetrucks came out to respond, they started throwing things at the cops and the firemen, they basically had to a riot put down, and people got arrested and evicted over it.  The trash company is making a special pickup to have the dumpster empty over the weekend, but people will just put more stuff in it - you can't stop people from taking out their trash!

Fireworks shows in Springerville, Sunrise, Heber-Overgaard and Lymon Lake were all canceled.  Then rain came for Springerville so now their fireworks show is back on.  Those are all towns some distance from me (35-70 miles).  Our small town is still holding fireworks on Saturday night.   I am a little worried about it however.

Sale of small fireworks was just made legal here in Arizona last January.  So that's a huge worry.  Not everyone acts responsibly, you know;)
