Fireworks on the 4th Spur Several Calls to Police (Map)

Though the Fourth of July is known for fireworks, residents were still disturbed by the noises and made several calls to the Danville Police.

The Fourth of July is synonymous with a lot of things.

There are the colors red, white, and blue, images of Uncle Sam, parades and cookouts, America's forefathers and the country's veterans.

But, maybe beyond all of those, probably the things that make us most think of the Fourth of July are fireworks. (Sorry John Adams!)

Well, not everyone... some residents weren't having it.

Examining these calls, it appears that they were reported and the responding officer was unable to locate the exact origin of the fireworks. Furthermore, no arrests or citations were made as a result of fireworks during this period of time.
