You do realize there are fireworks that have one fuse with multiple shots from them right?!?!?!

Rule of thumb, assume they're always gunshots.

Keep your doors locked and get security cameras and avoid fucking around where possible.

Yea I’m not an idiot (difference between fireworks and gunshots), but thanks. And it’s always gunshots 🤷‍♂️

I, too, like to always assume the worst. It makes my life so much better.

I heard at least two calls on the scanner last night for people firing guns into the air along with all the fireworks calls. As in, the caller reported seeing someone firing the gun, not "I heard fireworks and can't tell the difference." So, it could have been either. It happens every year.

Thing is, I don't remember hearing more than sporadic fireworks on NYE until 2000. Seems like that year and every year after it sounds like downtown Beirut circa 1983.
