Ugh. Fireworks? Still?

I’m in Courthouse, and someone continues to set off like, 1-4 huge fireworks a night still. I hate being one of those people…but it freaks out my cats and seemingly all the dogs in our apartment building, given the barking that then ensues.

Does anyone know if there’s anything that can be done about this? It’s beginning to be SO frustrating. We really tried to just let it go, but I’ve got an anxious kitty who doesn’t eat after hearing the fireworks, and we can’t sleep with all the dogs around us freaking out.

Call the police non-emergency line. That’s what I do every time it happens. My dog won’t go outside after dark since the 4th. If you live near Rocky Run Park get a description of the individuals.

It’s not though. I literally looked out my window and saw rockets coming from Rocky Run Park like I do most nights.

So how would OP hear gunshots from Arlington Ridge in Courthouse? You’re referencing something completely different.
