A communication from the Board on the subject of Fireworks:
In 2016, the Board was notified of a hazardous condition that occurred during the July 4th weekend in 2015. There were one or more individuals that were setting off their own fireworks. Apparently, a canister either tipped over or was defective, which caused some fireworks to fire into the crowd gathered on the beach, rather than in the air. There were several near misses and apparently one child’s clothing caught on fire.
Our concern, as a Board, is for the safety of our entire community. Therefore our security patrol will be in force on the July 4th weekend. Individuals that are setting off fireworks will be directed to cease and desist, and further use will result in a call to the police.
I hope that you will join the Board in keeping the holiday as safe as possible for our residents, tenants and guests. I note that all fireworks are illegal in Delaware.
