MOST OF US SET OFF FIREWORKS OVER THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY, BUT THAT’S NOW BEEN BANNED IN BERNALILLO COUNTY THIS YEAR. THE COUNTY COMMISSION AT ITS REGULAR MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT WAS EXPECTED TO AND DID, IN FACT, VOTE TO APPROVE A FIREWORKS BAN IN UNINCORPORATED PARTS OF THE COUNTY.
THE BAN COVERS AERIAL SPINNERS, MISSILE-STYLE ROCKETS, HELICOPTERS, STICK ROCKETS AND GROUND AUDIBLE DEVICES. THERE ARE ALREADY PERMANENT BANS FOR AERIAL AND GROUND AUDIBLE DEVICES … AND A COMMISSION-ORDERED BAN ON CAMPFIRES, OPEN FIRES, AND SMOKING.
