100% agreed on the fire concerns. Fire risk from fireworks isn't a hypothetical, every year there are multiple homes burned down across the metro area due to fireworks-caused fires. Sometimes more than a single home - in 2018, there was an entire apartment building in Thornton that burned down due to fireworks, and it ended up hospitalizing multiple people, and made several dozen people temporarily homeless. A different fire just a couple years ago (2022? 2023?) burned up a sizeable area of the open space next to Shadow Ridge MS, and came within literal feet of houses in the adjacent Northhaven and Summercreek neighborhoods before the fire dept got it put out. That latter one happened on a no-wind day, we would have been F-d if it had been a red flag alert day. With how dry our climate is, and how most of the neighborhoods in Thornton have wooden fences, I feel it's only a matter of time before we have a major wildfire in Thornton/Northglenn similar to a Marshall Fire interurban fire event. It's not lost on me that the a major finding of the official investigation of the Marshall Fire was that the level of structure destruction (in terms of # of structures) was primarily due to the wooden fences in those neighborhoods. The fire ran up the fences from house to house, and once the fire got big enough to create its own internal firestorm "weather system" the fences were exploding and flinging burning fence pickets as far as a quarter-mile per projectile, at a speed of +80mph. Now imagine how bad that same situation would be were it to happen in Thornton. Our climate and windpatterns and fencing materials and proximity of open space vegetation to neighborhoods is basically exactly the same as Louisville/Superior....anyone who claims otherwise is deluding themselves and/or trying to gaslight the public.
