Gary Derr: Banning any fireworks would seem like a ‘no-brainer’
Why haven’t the city and county fathers embraced the danger posed by the use of legal fireworks during this extreme drought? Banning the use of these potential fire starters should be a no-brainer! It was reported today that there are over 20 major wildfires burning in the state. Do we want Merced to be the next one? Maybe those making decisions are truly the “no-brainers”!
