@patbz   Rio Rancho is having their usual display.  People can park at city hall 18ft apart to watch, although most can see them from their houses.  Albuquerque cancelled theirs, also announced today that state fair is cancelled.

    Cancelled in Santa Fe too.  Fine with me.  I find them boring and they scare animals.

We don't have a fire danger here at this time, but the big fireworks show has been cancelled.   Of course that probably means more people in the neighborhood will be doing fireworks.  I feel so sorry for all the dogs in our neighborhood!

I agree 100% boring and scared animals!

San Antonio canceled the Fireworks and 4th of July Celebration.....

BAD NEWS---sales at firework stands are breaking records----(even though they are illegal in the city limits)---so that means people are just moving the celebrations to their homes---I doubt that social distancing or mask wearing will be in vogue and Co-Vid numbers will peak....And oh the poor pets that are terrified of fireworks....

There was a big discussion by our City Council after New Years Eve and all the firework complaints here. The non-emergency police couldnt keep up with all the firework complaints...So the city promised to beef up the task force and they even established a separate phone number to call to report fireworks....I cannot imagine whats going to happen on the 4th of July..... I feel sorry for those manning the phones and responding to the complaints.....

Not surprised at all about the online sales of dangerous fireworks either...... people dont seem to use common sense or dont flat give a darn....I just hope that the dangerous fireworks dont catch someones roof or house on fire.....

Or worse, @Spurt. I've posted before that when my daughter was quite young, she was struck with an illegal firework. She was unscathed but could have been seriously injured.
