Were there other areas that were barraged with fireworks over the holiday week, and has anyone contacted PGPD and MCPD about preparing for another barrage on New Year's Eve?

Alcohol and fireworks are a lethal combination.

I don't like it, and it's not legal, but nonetheless it's a fact that Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are traditional holidays for fireworks.

Not the PP. I understand the general reason, but there's a difference between planned fireworks celebrations and fireworks that continue for hours on end well into the night. It is unnerving for many people, including those who suffer from PTSD, not to mention pets. It is one thing if you can plan on when the celebrations will be held, it is another thing to hear random explosions all night.

Plan on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Yes, it's upsetting for many people and pets.

When did Christmas Eve become a night for fireworks? Is this only a DMV thing or is it everywhere?

It's a common thing in parts of Latin America and people from those places keep up the tradition in America. It's a thing for sure where I live (Silver Spring) for that reason, but I've never encountered it outside those communities.

Yup. Oddly enough, one of the areas that decided to light up the night sky was at an apartment complex that put on a demonstration a few months ago, calling for a rent strike due a due to the pandemic induced lack of funds and living conditions.

Interesting how they bemoaned that they had no money to pay rent, but somehow had plenty of money to spend to set off fireworks for hours on end.

Apartments are composed of different people having different experiences, so no it's not actually all that interesting.

Oh, yeah. Fascinating.

Maybe move to Odenton or something?

Umm....you must not travel to Europe much

It’s big in Germany and

All of Iceland is filled with Neighborhood non fires and Fireworks for hours on 12/31 ...it’s not even in one set location . Every intersection has a bon fire and it’s as if the capital is under artillery fire

We enjoyed it immensely when my son was a kid

For a reason. Like this one: DC man dies after suffering firework injuries

PP I was responding to asked about Christmas Eve not New Years. It's much more common everywhere on New Years, including the states. Maybe Europe also does fireworks on Christmas Eve? I don't know. I'm an American and I spend holidays with my family, here.

Either way, I don't think the fireworks where I am are from Icelanders.

PP here. I remember this so clearly because I thought it was a joke, but on June 30 (yes, I remember the exact date) there was a post on NextDoor that said “we were startled awake last night by fireworks. What was going on?”



Must have been OP. Everyone knows fireworks start the last week of June around here.

Um, I'm in Southern MD (don't ask....it's not a fun place) and the fireworks here sound like mortar shells. Even my mostly deaf cat is hiding. The entire neighborhood is up.

So ONE idiot died, doing idiot stuff.

Meanwhile 10,000,000 other people shot off fireworks last year and didn’t hurt themselves or anyone else.

So of course, let’s punish everyone else.
