I have a novel idea let's switch Christmas with 4th of July I think it would be better time to have fire works on display and a less chance for a fire to get out of hand. Just a little bit of common sense.
Let's not and say we did. New years Eve is already a misery with all the illegal fireworks. The only fireworks that should be allowed are professional shows. They are more fun anyway. Also are done in safe locations with fir department on. The annoying, often misused, and therefore more dangerous street fireworks should be illegal state wide. And not allowed to be sold at all.
Thank you for the mention of ILLEGAL!!! I have a neighbor who was lighting off ILLEGAL fireworks last night, and what's worse is that his son works for the Burien Fire Department.......😡
I’ve never understood why people want to risk starting a fire 🔥 We live in the country with irrigated pasture to the North and DRY fields to the south and people will be lighting fireworks YUGH!!!
When you are young, and can run fast, fireworks are dangerous enough to be exciting, and safe enough to be fun, and when you are young you don't really think about what can go wrong, you think about how you can avoid getting hurt. Some people hold on to being risk takers, bordering on being careless. Some people cross that border. When I was in my twenties, and fist married, my brother in law set off a bottle rocket that landed in a dry field. We ran to the flames and stomped out the fire before it got too big to extinguish. If any of us had hesitated to run to the flames the field would have been an out of control roaring fire in less than 10 seconds, but we were able to put it out completely, even pouring out our water bottles on the ashes to make sure. I think that was the last time any of us played with fireworks.
FYI we just confirmed that this blaze *was* fireworks-related, as per the King County Fire District #2's Ray Desmarais, Assistant Chief/Fire Marshal, who said "There were a number of arborvitaes that fell victim to a 'ground flower' that spun out of control. A utility pole was also damaged in the fire. No injuries or damage to homes was reported."
I have been a subscriber of Michael's youtube since he had less than 1K subscribers. I asked my question because he put a "?" in the title here, yet his twitter posts do not have a similar "?" and declare it IS fireworks. I was looking for clarification if he actually knows if it was fireworks, or if he intentionally put a clickbait title here or on twitter. That plays to his integrity providing weater inforamtion. , so I was looking for an answer to see if he knows or is guessing.
@@royyeldo5423 I can respect that and although I've probably have not been watching nearly as long as you, from what time that I have been watching, I can say that Michael is very good at what he does while sticking to the facts and even pushing back on political narratives when it comes to things like so-called human induced climate change. And for that, I agree that he does have great integrity that way, but this does not mean that he does not have biases toward other things like the use of fireworks on the 4th of July. I live down here in California and as you know, our state burns the most every year. Most of which is caused by things like cigarette butts, lawn mowers, trailer hitch chains, weather and homeless campfires. Yes, it is true that some idiots are responsible for these fires due to the use of fireworks both deemed by the state as legal and illegal. like many other things, namely firearms in both of our states, the use of fireworks during 4th of July celebrations is used as a cudgel towards law abiding responsible citizens in taking away rights. Too many of our fellow citizens want to punish those who act responsibly and according to the law rather than those who don't because of their feelings toward objects like fireworks or firearms.
Click bait in the title was huge fire. Lol it's never good to have a fire like that but it's shrubs around the fence burning and making alot of smoke. Not actually a huge fire. What it was from who knows yet.
A great man once said, "Why do we do this to ourselves?"
people want to have fun but can't do it without being idiots.
Always something, somewhere, every damn day.
Why can’t America celebrate without fireworks

If you have to ask you must be some sort commie,
Seriously! They're dangerous on so many levels.

Happy 4th of July from Canada 🇨🇦 b safe with your fireworks tonight.
Oh! That’s the assisted senior living home! I hope the residents didn’t get to freaked out by that huge hedge going up in flames!
WOW!

You mentioned this early “Be careful with the fireworks”. Enjoy your channel best info for the NW weather. 😊
Birds eye view shows how near are so may trees, n homes . Thankfully the wind was calm.
Looks like a shrub/fence caught fire!
So lucky the house wasn't ignited!
The entire hedge went up? Kudos to the figured who kept it from spreading
Literally a biblical burning bush experience.....
I just had to chase out kids shooting bottle rockets up into a century old pine tree, dry as tinder. They had no concept of how dry it is.
There’s a big forest fire burning in sw Washington right now. Started early yesterday morning from a Train. Now has burned 1000 acres
We need to hope for 🌧 or this fire season promisus to be bad. 😟.
i hope everything turned out ok 👍
How do we know this was from fireworks?
not a lot is gonna start a fire from just dry grass.
Because it was confirmed by officials
Thank you
did we confirm this was fireworks or was it a click-bait title?

People lighting off fireworks in that area and the entire hedge went up, pretty good bet its fireworks.

Oh wow this is sad. I sure hope no one is hurt
when the crazy brave put a flame under a tottering huge bucket of cooking oil and toss a big bird in there, now THAT is more scary than fireworks
Hope there was no injuries!
Pretty much alot of smoke. Period
Omgosh Michael I hope this isn't t near you I have had 2 places burn down in my life terrifying
F fireworks!
I guess after a decade, some people just don't know that any and all fireworks are illegal in Burien/Normandy Park.....Very unfortunate....😔😔😔
Uh oh.
It is tinder dry outside. People need to be very careful.
This was from fireworks
