For 12 years we literally had the fireworks going off over our heads when we lived in Honesdale.
We're good.
We're good.
My favorite place to watch fireworks was a small town called Prineville, Or. They would set them off from the viewpoint on the bluff above town and they would go off seemingly directly overhead. But the best part was that almost every year, they would set fire to the hillside. The biggest cheer of the night was when the first flames were spotted. Luckily, the fire department was setting off the fireworks, so they were already there.

I never have to leave home to see the fireworks display. My neighbors seem to specialize in aerial displays that would rival the best professional performances.
Fire bans? Red Flag warnings? Who cares?
State laws that prohibit anything that explodes or flies through the air? Who cares?
Local TV news shared a clip with guidance on calling 9-1-1 with fireworks complaints. Wife can't sleep? Don't call 9-1-1. Neighbor's hand flies over the fence and lands on your patio? Call 9-1-1.
I hope the Emergency Room is fully staffed, based on what I'm seeing without leaving home tonight.

Well I can see firewoks of 3 town... All too close. But I swear.. the people that live within a mile or so of my place have spent 1000s of dollars on fireworks this year. Can't get ammo so they spent on fireworks. Been going off pretty continuously since 2030 hrs. 2240 as I type and finally full dark. My neighbor burned up a ghastly amount of 223 though before dark

I have a friend with a lake house who has a professional fireworks display over the lake every 4th of July (this year it was on the 3rd). We watch from the pool next to the Pina Colada machine. Spare bedroom down the hallway.
OP
Now that's really roughin' it!
A bit of thread drift, but we're all used to it.
We were living in Glenwood Springs, CO in 1993.
On July 1, Lightning started a small fire on top of Storm King Mtn, just west of town. Nothing was done about it mainly because all the Forest Service firefighters were very busy with more pressing fires and it didn't move much the first couple days. July 4 the wind kick up and the fire took off. Hot Shot fire fighters were flown in and took to doing their thing. Helicopters and planes dumped water on it as it headed for the west end of town. As evening fell, the fire was stopped, no buildings lost, but a cold front moved through and made the winds pick up and change direction. In the morning we found out 14 Hot Shots had been over run by the flames and lost their lives. Most were from Prineville. Seems every year around this time, I'm reminded of these brave young men and women. And this time it was your post. thanks.
According to Del Gue "that's where the peoples is".
