(WPXI) – The City of Pittsburgh has formed a task force to address the issue of a spike in the use of illegal fireworks. City officials say Pittsburgh has seen a nearly 400 percent increase in firework complaint calls. Pittsburgh police say they received 137 fireworks complaint calls from June 1st through June 21st. They received a total of 28 calls in the city during the same time last year. Firework shows across the area have been canceled because of COVID-19, so people have started putting on their own. Other cities across the country have seen a spike as well.
