Poll: Should fireworks be banned?
A North Canterbury family came close to losing their home last week after someone set off fireworks nearby, causing a fire.
Jessica Murray and her husband, 6-month-old baby and two dogs had to evacuate their Kaiapoi home last week when a rogue firework came close to burning their house down.
They're now backing a campaign by a Rangiora resident to get fireworks banned from the Waimakariri district.
Petition organiser Arthur Linnell says he's "not a killjoy ... but I do think a public display is the only way to go. Sometimes we have to bring laws in to protect us from stupid people".

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
