STATE FIRE MARSHAL SUGGESTS ATTENDING PUBLIC FIREWORKS DISPLAYS TO CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR

       STATEWIDE (December 29, 2017) – With the arrival of the highly anticipated New Year, State Fire Marshal Brian S. Geraci is suggesting that Marylanders should attend public fireworks displays. “I would suggest the safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend one of the public fireworks displays offered throughout the state.” stated Geraci.  To help Marylanders enjoy a safer start to the New Year, the State Fire Marshal offers several ways to enjoy fireworks while avoiding injury:
  • Consider attending a professional public fireworks display instead of taking the chance on a potential injury from a private display.  Leave fireworks to the professionals.
     For those individuals who insist on the use of consumer fireworks:
  • Purchase the fireworks in the location where you intend to discharge them. Check with the local municipality to determine what fireworks are considered legal for use in that area.
  • Read and follow label warnings and instructions.
  • Do not allow small children to use fireworks.
  • Do not consume alcoholic beverages while using fireworks.
  • Have a bucket of water or hose available
  • Fully extinguish the remains of fireworks in water before disposal.

“Fireworks have been a long tradition of New Year’s celebrations.  Please make safety your number one priority so everyone can enjoy the holiday season.” adds the State Fire Marshal. “By acting responsibly, we can help eliminate fireworks injuries and property damage in the great State of Maryland.”

Yes, always consume your alcoholic beverages BEFORE using fireworks.

The State Fire Marshal can go pound sand. Why does the State think they have a right to tell me what to do?

Sounds like that guy is a real popular man at parties.....
I've been blasting stadium-type fireworks every year, sometimes two or three times a year. Does that make me a pro??? Never mind. I don't care if it does or not....
A couple of people I know do the same thing.
NO ONE has ever been hurt.
Stay out of our lives and leave explosions to the people. ANY of the people.
Or show up at my house for a REAL fireworks display.
Just stop thinking that only people with a badge or a government job are the only ones who know how to do anything with a hint of danger to it.
Where did so many people get the idea that they NEEDED someone else to tell them what they could "safely" do without help or advice???
And where do all the people come from who think THEY are the ones who
get to tell everyone else how to live and more importantly, what rights THEY will ALLOW us to have????
Nazi bi***hes.
The party starts at 9.
Keep cheering!

Because most of you are to dumb to think for yourselves. Hence, decades of crappy governors and mayor of D'Bury.

He talks big but knows that Limelight Lewis will lock him up in a heartbeat. He won't reveal who or where he is.

Wow with that attitude I won't go 50feet near you. Sounds like you started the party already. There are people out there that do need advice. He didn't say you.

Hey Insane, I'm not the one saying I am going to violate state law by shooting off illegal fireworks. You are just an old big mouth keyboard warrior. Have some bran muffins and take your meds.

By the way, just to let you know about the local "Two Sets of Laws" thing....

I've attended some private fireworks displays here in Salisbury and Delmar where POLICE were watching in the crowd. In uniform. No arrests.
I've had the police show up at my house during a raucous party with fireworks actively being launched and a live band kickin' it... No arrests.
You sissy goofs. You've caved into the idea that you can't live your lives without someone else making sure you follow THEIR idea of how you should live.
You NEED approval.
You CRAVE permission.
Listen for the explosion and light show from someone who doesn't need or ask for anyone's "permission". And, I don't are what you think about it.
Get off your knees and be a man.

The rest of you lemmings? Keep cheering.
