  1. A caller said “he was a combat veteran, and the fireworks were making him upset.” An officer responded and “apologized for the noise.” Yup, this particular holiday is also very bad for those living or working on dementia units, too. I heard on the news there were enough fireworks set off in Des Moines last night they had to give an air quality warning advising the elderly, infirm and pregnant women to stay inside due to high levels of airborne particulates this morning. Believe it.
