    We will have a few people set them off tonight and that’s usually it. They are illegal. The casinos cancelled our fireworks but 2 very wealthy people decided to pay for them. Of course it’s a bad idea with gathering groups of people plus the fire danger.

    Being illegal is of no consequence here.

    setting buildings on fire due to fireworks, yeah it happens.

    No consequences.

    Illegal means nothing here either. As with everything else these days, doing what one wants to do is just fine. Fireworks have been going off since mid June. Our backyard is full of dry pine needles so it worries me.

    Idiotic fireworks would really worry me seriously about fire if I was out west where you guys are.

    If you cause a fire here even if unintentional and are identified you will be getting a very large bill.

    They can be charged criminally if negligence and they also can garnish your wages.

    That is true, and certainly that is a consequence that is better than not charging and prosecuting at all.

    Our poor dogs hate fireworks so. The one comes and paws at you for reassurance. We have to take them inside and go turn up the tv so they can't hear them.

    Tons of fireworks in my affluent suburban Chicago town.

    Fireworks are illegal in IL. The IL State Police are known to stop cars coming from IN right at the border to look for fireworks. Tons of fireworks shops in IN just across the border.
