Ban Fireworks in Kitsap County

The Issue

It is time to ban personal fireworks in Kitsap County.

Fire hazard, noise pollution, air pollution, illegal discharge on non holidays and past posted lawful hours, discharge of illegal reservation fireworks, animal deaths, livestock management issues... the discharging of fireworks goes on for days ahead of and days afterward.

People have shown disregard for posted hours of discharging fireworks, disregard for neighbors who do not wish to participate, disregard for laws regarding what is legal and what is not legal. Our neighborhoods have become war zones deep into the night, our animals become frightened and lost, livestock runs through fencing, and we must guard our homes due to fire hazards.

Fireworks are dangerous in the wrong hands. The banning of fireworks would greatly reduce the 911 and emergency dispatch calls of police, fire personnel and emt units.

Enough is enough.

 

We the undersigned ask for a permanent ban on personal fireworks in Kitsap County.
