On reading the front-page article on fireworks (“Fireworks coming soon to Clark County,” The Columbian, June 19), I noted that the agencies said that they had received little or no communications this year regarding problems with fireworks. This is no mystery as all such communications to public officials regarding the hazards of fireworks have been ignored in the past.
