“It hit my house. It hit my car. And I see some spot which (had) been marked … and some white spots around, sprayed around my house and the car,” he said.
According to the resident, fireworks use is getting out of control.
“I want the lawmakers to make a law in a way that we are all safe,” he said. “It’s getting out of control, but I want somebody to look into it, make an issue…. Every year you can see it’s getting (a) more bigger issue, and I want to stop this.”
The owner said he had filed a police report and Surrey police confirmed they received calls about fireworks over New Year’s Eve.
