A new group is calling for changes to local fireworks laws after more than 40 events took place over four nights last week.
Guernsey Fireworks Reform says the loud, bright explosions unfairly affect wildlife, pets and people with conditions such as anxiety and PTSD.
It also raises concerns about fire risks, injuries, noise pollution, and property damage.
The group suggests banning the sale of fireworks to the general public and replacing private displays with one large community event on 5 November.
It also wants to explore appetite for quieter alternatives, such as drone and light shows.
The group plans to gather evidence/lived experiences before asking the States to change the law.
