With the new fireworks law in Iowa, more and more are being shot off and at all hours of the day and night. One group of people this may have negative affects on is those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, including combat veterans.
Neal Jarnagin, Director of the Bremer County Veterans Affairs, talks about PTSD and fireworks.
Jarnagin says the best way to handle the situation is to inform your neighbors of when you will be shooting off fireworks. That way they can prepare themselves or plan to be elsewhere.
