I agree there should be a reward for reporting these activities because otherwise there is no incentive. I do not want someone being negligent and breaking the law to cost me what I have worked so hard for. As a side note everyone who lives in the north end knows, there is not a strong police presence so violations that are reported will probably not be addressed quickly to stop the activity.

Cigarettes thrown out the window and burn barrels start a lot of fires to u know. They aren’t trying to stop Cigarettes and Lighters so leave it alone about FIREWORKS.

That fine isn't enough to stop anyone and I don't think there is enough county policemen to stop private fireworks. I live in Molino and every year I'm surrounded by private fireworks and the police have never stopped them. And I darn sure a fire ban won't stop them either. A $400.00 fine……that’s a joke.

I will have a small camp fire in a sand basin, near the water. The coldest I ever remember being, was a damp, 4am dog day morning on the river. Im not shooting fireworks by the way.
