> Independence Day is just a few days away and Lawrence-Douglas County 
> Fire Medical wants to remind the public that Lawrence is a 
> fireworks-free city.
>
> Since 2002, Lawrence has limited the use of fireworks in the city and 
> prohibited the sale and handling of fireworks. Some novelty items are 
> allowed including party poppers, snappers, snakes/glow worms, 
> sparklers, toy caps and toy smoke devices. The ordinance is intended 
> to promote the health and safety of our residents. Fireworks can be 
> dangerous to those handling the devices, and the loud noises and smoke 
> can affect our residents in a negative way. As necessary, local law 
> enforcement can confiscate fireworks not permitted in Lawrence. Find 
> specific information about allowable novelty items at

> Be courteous! If a veteran lives in the neighborhood, be a good 
> neighbor and think about the implications fireworks can have on their 
> celebration and daily routine. An estimated 7% to 20% of the more than 
> 2.5 million veterans and troops who have served in Iraq and 
> Afghanistan are believed to have developed PTSD. According to the 
> Department of Veterans Affairs, loud blasts and flashing lights can 
> sometimes induce panic attacks. PTSD is characterized by emotionally 
> re-experiencing traumatic events. The thoughts are triggered for 
> combat veterans by the sound of an explosion or gunfire, or even 
> certain sights and smells, according to the Institute of Medicine.
>
> Pets can also be bothered by the loud noises. Make sure animals are 
> secure inside if they tend to react to loud noises.
>
> People in our community can also be affected by the smoke created by 
> fireworks if they have respiratory and breathing difficulties. 
> Celebrate safely and be courteous.
