Yes, you are so correct. No way PD and FD can combat this out of control environment.

I have my in-laws in a their 90's, one who uses a walker and we had to use our camping gear to provide light! Many seniors might not have that support! I too will bring this up to the board and association, there has to be changes... It's only getting worse! We even had a meeting regarding firework safety... The neighbors who came are responsible and caring. It's those folks who have no consideration or care of consequences for damages to others that we must cancel or change to eliminate fireworks. It's unfortunate, but our police and fire services cannot stop the thousands illegal fireworks... Not enough personnel and hard to pin them down! Sorry for the long response, but I am in agreement with you. Many thanks and best to all Irma Jauregui Sent from my iPhonec On Jul 6, 2015, at 6:18 PM, Tim Rush <timrushna bhhscapro sn com> wrote: All; As some of you know Cherie Kerr who lives on Heliotrope Drive in Floral Park experienced the nightmare of having the trees set ablaze next to her home on July 4a'.

The fire department was dispatched, and neighbors pounded on her door to alert her to the fact that embers were falling on her home. She said both firemen and police said "in just a few more minutes your entire house could have been in flames...." Yes, we all know bottle rockets are illegal as are all the M -80's, M -160's etc. that are discharged in our city. But "Safe & Sane" fireworks are simply the gateway drug that gives cover to all the illegal firecrackers. When I arrived home about 11;15pm many of the houses were still setting CCM 7/7/2015
