Many sanctioned fireworks shows are canceled this summer due to the pandemic, but people continue to set off everything from firecrackers to Roman candles in backyards and streets throughout the region. The number of calls to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department about illegal fireworks has quadrupled from the same time last year. This episode features various perspectives on fireworks including enthusiasts, the mildly annoyed and pet owners. We also hear from the St. Louis Fire Department about the dangers of using fireworks.
