I feel they should be banned from city limits. The houses are too close.

I agree they should be banned from city limits. For our Vets, small children and our furbabies

i would love to see the fire works banned from city limits. My dog is petrified of them and they always wake my kids up.

I would like to express my concern for fireworks in all of Presque Isle...not just within the city limits. I have horses and was pinned to the wall in the stall by a 1,200 pound animal that was terrified by fireworks going off up the road from my house. He wouldn't eat and paced in circles in his stall for three days after.
This is not a problem just within city limits.

At least ban them after 8:30 P.M. It's hard to get a good nights sleep when you hear them all hours of the night.

I support this petition as a member of Presque Isle and believe that fireworks set off within city limits present a fire hazard, a noise hazard, can be detrimental to our veterans with PTSD.

I was up there for 6 weeks this summer, Between July 4th weekend, the fair, and just people setting them off, it seemed that there was a rare evening of peace for any of us in the household. I know that pets are not classified as important in the lives of many, but when you have a cowering, shivering, drooling, hide your face and body where ever you can little animal that you are trying to soothe, it serves to make you want to do bodily harm to the one setting them off. It is with absolute amazement that I find that your illustrious governor is the one who decided to approve this very odious bill. Obviously, he was never in combat and suffered from the effects of PTSD, or has had an animal or child who is terrified of loud noises. I am glad I no longer live in Maine. It's not good. I can't imagine that if people knew this was now legal, they would want to move to this beautiful state.

There needs to be some regulation. I have neighbors that launch them at 1030 at night.

I am not against fireworks, but consideration for others must be done. They are legal and I am ok that they be used on special holidays.

Perhaps the solution to this nuisance would be a requirement that the Police or Fire Department issue permits for the use of fireworks. As with the current fire permits, those that intend to use fireworks would have to call the Police or Fire Department for permission each time they intend to use them. You could purchase a permit yearly but would need to call into these departments anytime you intend to use fireworks. This would assure that the Police or Fire personnel are aware of when and where they are being used. Under certain conditions, these departments could refuse permission for use. Several factors should be considered before issuing a permit, such as, location, time, weather and previous complaint from neighbors.

We very much need an ordinance established concerning the use of fireworks in city limits. Its getting to be quite an annoyance here on our end of town, nearly everynight having to endure the noise and terrified pets.Could we not restrict their use for holidays only ?

I live in town and my neighbors enjoy fireworks, which is fine. My problem is when you live so close and your firework debri makes it all over my yard, behind my house, and on my roof...who picks it up? You can bet not my inconsiderate neighbor!

The houses are too close together in PI for fireworks and too many people have children or pets who are scared of the noise.
Its gotten out of hand
