Fireworks in our neighborhoods

KATHLEEN L. WITHER

Thank you for publishing the excellent July 12 opinion piece regarding fireworks in our neighborhoods.

Add to the list of folks impacted by the displays and explosions those individuals who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or autism.

What seems like fun to some comes at a dear price to others.

Please use fireworks responsibly by choosing to use only those products which are appropriate for the area in which they are set off and be considerate of the effects on others in your community.

Just because something is legal does not always mean it is safe in every setting. Remember — it’s only “fun” until someone gets hurt.
