Fireworks erupting following a baseball game at Washington State University. Residents such as Rajib Saha mention that this occurs frequently during the baseball season. He has been residing in an apartment complex located near Bailey Brighton Field for a year.
“We truly like it, but occasionally it can be frightening for the kids and the elderly,” said Saha.
City Council member Nathan Weller states that numerous individuals hold the same worry.
“The most effective approach to tackle these matters is for us to focus on improving public awareness,” stated Weller.
At Tuesday night’s gathering, Weller suggested that the City of Pullman share on its social media channels the times when the fireworks will occur. He believes this would serve as a notice for community members who are worried.
Weller highlights that this is a compromise to ensure that fireworks can still take place, while also informing community members about which fireworks are anticipated and which are not.
“I hope that if we proceed with this plan, we can remind everyone that this is an official event, and you aren’t allowed to use your own fireworks,” said Weller.
It’s a concept that Saha supports.
“The city of Pullman, or any group, can offer a notice or sign that would be helpful for the complicated individuals,” stated Saha.
A hearing regarding the operation of fireworks is set for August 12.
