There are other ways for non-profits to raise money. Ban fireworks and free up emergency resources.

I really don’t want to see the fireworks banned, but at this point I agree that we band all fireworks before it turns into a war. It’s a special holiday but many have ruined it for the innocent.

They are to dangerous ...they start to many fires...the wrong people have them...kids don't even have fun on this holiday anymore... I feel sorry for the veterans...it brings back bad memory for them...and the pets we have to help them....we are their voice....they just get so scared....

Fireworks are terrifying to many former service men and women who suffer from ptsd and also to thousands of helpless dogs and cats. Having done volunteer work for shelters, I can tell you more pets are lost and killed on the 4th of July than any other day of the year. In addition, countless brush and house fires are sparked by fireworks, both "safe and sane" and illegal.

Fireworks are causing more anxiety and animals and people veterans the deal with PTSD and a fire hazard and we’re getting more illegal ones in that sound like Bombs.

The nightly explosions have been going on for weeks. No regard for neighbors, animals, or safety.

ALL fireworks should have been banned here YEARS ago!!. Not only can they be very dangerous, ("safe and sane" ones too) they pose an EXTREME fire hazard here in our tinder dry Central Valley! Fireworks terrorize pets, wildlife, and all animals (weeks before and weeks after the 4th!). It's time to ban all them! Both Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties, have not allowed ANY fireworks in their counties for years! It's time to ban them here!

I grew up in a country that didn’t allow fireworks, and they still don’t. The county does put on a professional fireworks show annually and it’s a big event to look forward to every year. Stanislaus needs to do the same. It will be a challenge at first, because the people here are spoiled and selfish. But, I believe it can and should be done.

My dogs are terrified. This is not enjoyable for many people and pets; and, it is not safe. Please put an end to all personal use of fireworks in Modesto.

With California’s history of fires they should be banned throughout the state
