All sales on fireworks have been banned this year in and around Houston.
The chance of more wild fires and the danger to homes is too great to risk
even a "sparkler" to ignite the draught ravaged foliage. That's perfectly
understandable to me - why take the chance of some dumb@44 setting the
city on fire.

However, they're still planning a "Freedom Celebration" in Houston and
some surrounding cities. Huh? Are their fireworks somehow different from
privately owned fireworks? Are the parks and other places they're planned
somehow spared from the draught? There is still a big "debate" about this
going on, but as of right now, the celebrations are going to go ahead as
planned.

What do you think? Should city-run fireworks be banned also, or allowed?

Banned. Totally. Texas does not need more fires, even tiny ones, in this
difficult year. I've seen the horrible news photos.

Also, since this is a cat group, I read somewhere that cats are notoriously
frightened by fireworks, both by the lights and by the noises. Not that any
cat lover would think of placing a cat in such a scary setting. I assume
this is true?
