Fireworks: State ban, tough enforcement needed

“Fireworks started blaze that tore through Tacoma apartment building, officials say,” (TNT, 7/7).

Tacoma has banned fireworks, but does not seem to enforce the ban. Maybe it’s time to push for a statewide ban on all fireworks and arrest people shooting them off.

As a person with PTSD, I have to leave my city and get as far away as possible every year because of fireworks.

When will people ever learn? Enough is enough.
