Background
Every year, countless people and animals suffer injuries, distress, or property damage caused by unregulated private fireworks. The unpredictable explosions cause fear and trauma in pets, wildlife, and vulnerable individuals, including veterans and those with sensory sensitivities. Moreover, fireworks contribute to air and noise pollution, pose significant fire risks, and create unnecessary strain on emergency services.
