Fireworks

Well friends, this evening, I read in The Beebe News that the City of Beebe is not only going on with their yearly fireworks show for the 4th of July, but they are going to continue to allow the use of fireworks "just as long as there aren't any fires", as the article said.  I like fireworks just like the next person, however, I believe the city isn't using much common sense.  We have not had any appreciable rainfall in the Beebe area for nearly 3 weeks and the temperatures today reached 100-105, plus, there is a burn ban, not only in White County, but for most of the state.  In the city of Jacksonville, they are not only banning the use of fireworks, but any permits that were awarded before the burn ban, have now been made null and void.  I am very very disappointed in the city's decision to allow fireworks, I really am.  I would love to read your thoughts on this subject.
