Frightened by the noise of neighboring fireworks, the Discovery Bay resident clawed at a gate until she broke off her nails and bloodied her paw.
Despite poor Cassidy’s experience, Lt. Mike Burton of Delta Station said fireworks calls for Discovery Bay were down by about a third overall from last year, and added that there were also no incidents of property damage reported. Good news for residents, but a miserable Cassidy is still an example of why everyone should obey the no-fireworks laws.
