So what you're saying is that 911 doesn't want a bunch of calls in the middle of the night from people who claim their dogs are scared and allege someone is setting off fireworks illegally "out there somewhere" and want YPD dispatched immediately? Can't blame them. Here's to all the 911 operators this weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Ask FLOCK as it seems we are being watched anyway…eh comrades?

Funny thing about this post,, they know exactly where you are at.

Hahaha I salute all the Karen's out there who are gonna be in high alert for criminals setting off fireworks hahaha

YAKIMA what a joke calling 911

So basically they aren't illegal to light unless they are causing bodily harm or a fire.

Some people have lost the real meaning of independence day 🫡🇺🇲 It's not all about setting off fireworks for a month straight. It's a celebration on one day a year and that is only on the 4th of July! Alcohol and fireworks do not mix, someone I know lost their 32 year old son due to lighting fireworks while intoxicated, people have lost pets that either run off or die due to tremendous stress.. It's all a matter of respect for others.. independence day is dedicated to our military 🪖 Anyway with that being said have a safe 4th and please discontinue lighting fireworks after the 4th thank you all kindly...

It's tough. Too bad people aren't getting a clue that the world is a LOT more flammable than it was when we were kids. It's also hotter and windier. And, I don't have any answers. It seems that strong penalties for arson are a place to start. I have watched the forest fires now for eight years around Yakima, and I am quite convinced that our forests will not return after they burn. Except for the riparian areas, of course. And even that is a 'sticky wicket' because when we 'drive up in the mountains' all the roads are located in riparian areas, so we never see the true scope of the devastation that has been wrought, and recently. It is so sad.

So what really is the purpose of the drones in the skies. They can't see who be setting fireworks off lol

The neighbors keep thought them to my house should I call ill let God take care of it

Y’all might as well start going door-to-door handing out fines to everyone cause the whole town gonna light it up 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

For those of you who think that a fireworks ban all fun and games until someone you know gets a hand blown off, your house burns down from fireworks landing on the roof or a family member dies from a medical emergency because police/fire were busy somewhere else because of fireworks….good luck.

Nope! Do your own Job

1: This never works 2: Y’all don’t take this serious and just gives warnings to people that will continue to shoot them off 3: Can’t be everywhere at once. Saying y’all still need to be watching for actually crime 4: You gotta catch us first 🤪😉

So..illegal but no enforcement? Got it.

Fireworks in Yakima county should be illegal this year because of fires . Not just the city of Yakima.

Considering all the other stuff you guys face and the way the courts tend to tie the hands of law enforcement I cant chastise you for this effectively unenforceable law. Many complain about the overall crime statistics and all the other societal ills we face and act like the cops should solve all of them, when in reality all you can do is go after what you see or is reported to you, but you get the blame. Hang in there, you ARE appreciated

It don’t do any good you guys don’t do anything about it

So in other words, it’s “illegal“, but it’s not really enforceable.  Well, I agree with common sense and not burning things to the ground, but this is a prime example of a law that shouldn’t exist.

You see this people even the cops dont give af they wanna see shit explode too!

You guys are a joke No one’s gonna listen to you as long as there’s fireworks stands. People are gonna buy them. I don’t know why you guys don’t give up. You don’t want fireworks in our city and not have freedom than the damn fireworks stands God no one’s smart in this city.

Yeah I'm sure all my neighbors are going to report each other we do it every year right in the middle of town good luck....snitches get ditches..... I feel sorry for you if that's all you have to do on the 4th of July is driving around to report people that are having fun that makes you one pretty pathetic sad individual.....
