PFPD: Fireworks Aren’t 911 Worthy

From Post Falls Police Department Facebook wall: "To avoid tying up 911 dispatchers this Fourth of July, we ask that you only call 911 in the event of a real emergency. For example, don’t call to ask which fireworks are legal or report fireworks being used in a banned area or time; call the non-emergency police number. As a reminder, Idaho Code permits the use of nonaerial fireworks from June 23 ending at midnight on July 5th."

Question: Have you dialed 911 in last 6 months? Why?
