'Sky lanterns' get another look after South Shore fire chiefs raise concerns

Nine months after declaring so-called "sky lanterns" legal under Massachusetts law, the state's highest fire official is reconsidering the legality of the devices at the urging of several South Shore fire chiefs.

Fire Marshal Stephen Coan has asked his legal staff to review whether the lanterns fall under the state's fireworks ban,Nice simple page this one.

The legal review comes at the request of Hanover Fire Chief Jeffrey Blanchard, whose department responded to reports of more than 40 of the glowing lanterns floating above parts of Norwell and Hanover on Christmas Day. Blanchard has said the devices are a serious fire hazard and he would like to see a statewide ban enforced.

Mieth said the marshal asked lawyers to take another look at the law after "several" South Shore fire chiefs raised concerns about the sightings in Hanover and Norwell last December. Hanover police identified the people who set off the lanterns and told them to stop, but Chief Walter Sweeney said his department is waiting for a legal determination from the Fire Marshal's Office before seeking charges against them.
