Fireworks indoors? Yes, it's happened right here i Fireworks indoors? Yes, it's happened right here in Syracuse -- an example of dangerous use of fireworks. They're blowing up summer for people across the nation and in our City, hurting quality of life, scaring pets, tormenting people with PTSD, and creating serious injuries to users and bystanders. Syracuse Fire Department Michael Monds made a plea to stop using illegal fireworks. He also reviewed what's legal and what's not and gave safety tips. Take time this July 4th to watch Chief's message at this week's Community Briefing on Facebook or the City's of Syracuse YouTube Channel.
