    Fireworks are basically banned all over Ontario (Canada), because of the risk of forest fires. That goes for official and unofficial ones.

      They are banned in many places in the states, too. Like all of Seattle. Doesn’t stop people from doing them though because there are zero repercussions.

        Same here. Which is odd because you’d think it would be easy for cops to find people who are setting off fireworks. They’re very similar to flares, which are literally used to tell everyone “I’m over here.”

          It’s simply not enforced for whatever reason. At least here in Seattle, SPD likes to play victim and act like all the liberals defunding them are why they can’t enforce the law.
