BELLINGHAM - A draft ordinance banning all personal fireworks in the city is getting closer to a vote by City Council.
The existing city fireworks ordinance, adopted in 2002 and amended in 2005, generally limits personal fireworks use in the city to Dec. 31, Jan. 1 and July 4. The ordinance also restricts the size of fireworks that can be sold and discharged even on those days.
But violations of that ordinance are common, and so are complaints to police about the noise. Some city residents have argued that a total ban would be easier to enforce and would eventually curb both the nuisance noise and the risks to public safety.
A man survived an exploding fireball of propane that threw him across the length of his rented RV late Thursday, March 21, north of Ferndale.
Patricia Gess said she heard an explosion come from the motorhome just before 11 p.m. at 1891 Harksell Road. A man in his late 50s staggered out the door with broken glasses. He told her he'd just swapped out an old propane tank for a new one when a fireball threw him to the other side of the room. He didn't suffer any serious injuries.
Firefighters arrived to find the mid-'90s RV in flames, beyond help. It was a total loss, amounting to about $15,000 in damage, said Fire District 7 Division Chief Jerry Martin.
A man was charged Monday with a $565,000 bank robbery in which his girlfriend - an assistant bank manager - was forced to strap on a fake bomb so she would seem to be a hostage and could take the money.
A man charged with shooting an acquaintance in the face after being refused bail money was arrested Tuesday, Tacoma police said.
