March 19, 2026Fireworks Dropped on 72nd Street and 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge
A Bay Ridge resident shared that a box of fireworks was put in the middle of the crosswalk on 72nd Street and 5th Avenue and lit. She and her dogs were 40–60 feet away from it.
If you have a dog, you know how terrible dogs feel when fireworks are set off. One of the dogs slipped out of her collar, but her owner was able to get her. The dog owner held her two dogs and tried covering their ears. She had to carry her dogs home after the fireworks.
The photo above is from an hour later, after someone dragged the burning box to the corner.

Oreo, a sweet black and white cat that lives at a business on 4th Avenue was seen in a tree on one of the adjacent streets in the 90’s.
A kind animal lover took a video of the cat and shared it to social media to get him help.
When people went to go help, the cat was gone from the tree. I’m glad that there are such nice people in our area that will take the time to help a street cat.
