Resident urges action after fireworks debris fell on his yard; board asks public-safety director to investigate
Summary
Paul Bola told the board debris and embers from a 2025 Fourth of July fireworks display fell on his property; the board said the public safety director and fire marshal will review the fireworks permit and the complaint.
A resident told the Town Board at the June 23 meeting that debris and embers from the town's Fourth of July fireworks display at 27 Street Straight Path landed on his property in 2025 and presented a potential hazard.
Paul Bola told the board he had sent email evidence and brought a bag of debris to the meeting as physical evidence. He said he had also spoken with Councilman McNamera and that the town's fire marshal (identified in the record as Ranken) had asked him to remove the bag from the building for safety reasons. Bola asked the board to open a polite dialogue to prevent future debris from landing on his property and to remedy ongoing concerns.
Board members responded that the application process for fireworks includes review by the fire marshal's office and that the town provides permits for the annual Fourth of July display. Supervisor Moore said the public safety director will investigate the concern; the transcript shows the board instructed staff to examine the application and the complaint and to report back.
No formal action or resolution on the matter was recorded at the meeting; board members said an internal review is underway and the public safety director will follow up.
Quote: "I was recommended to come by the board meeting today regarding an issue I'm having with debris as a result of the fireworks display at 27 Street Straight Path," Paul Bola said.
