“#Tributes to condo victims, rescuers replace July 4 fireworks in Florida<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Multiple South Florida cities are replacing their Fourth of July fireworks displays with tributes to the victims of the Champlain Towers South and the rescue workers still searching the pile of rubble left by the collapsed condominium.<\/p>\n

Surfside, where the beachfront condo stood, has asked residents to stop outside at 9 p.m. Sunday with a candle, flashlight or their phone and share a moment of remembrance. Miami Beach, just blocks to the south, and the nearby community of Bal Harbor are also joining the \u201cshine a light\u201d event after canceling earlier fireworks celebrations, the Miami Herald reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just felt that this is not a time to be celebrating,\u201d Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber told NPR<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a time to really be standing with these family members who are hoping against hope right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nearby Miami Shores, Aventura and North Bay Village also canceled their fireworks displays out of respect for the victims of the collapse. Some other towns did not schedule displays because of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s much time to party,\u201d said Miami Beach resident Antonio Urdaneta told Miami\u2019s WSVN News.<\/a> \u201cI think right now more than ever, we need to take care of our buildings, our community, our neighbors and do what\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n
