Pa. township's new ordinance will only permit consumer fireworks to be used 7 days a year

[modrepub]

Fireworks have become a common complaint across the midstate in recent years after the state legislature legalized a broader ranger of consumer fireworks in 2017.

In Manheim Township, Lancaster County, township commissioners said that last year they called for the state to repeal the law as fireworks incidents have increased in the township and across the state. Since that didn’t happen, the township commissioners unanimously approved a new ordinance that will only permit consumer fireworks to be used seven days a year and only at certain times.

1. Wish they'd do that here!

Idiots in my neighborhood are doing fireworks all the time and freaking out peoples’ dogs. Maybe this can set a trend.

2. Excellent solution to a growing problem around the country.

In some cities they’ll disrupt traffic by setting fireworks off in the middle of an intersection.
It takes a lot to make me mad, but stuff like this- shooting guns off in the air as celebration, kids driving ATVs and dirt bikes thru our cities etc. - infuriates me 😳
