Reply to comment by Vorpishly in TIL Anvil firing is the practice of exploding an anvil into the air. Anvils are typically fired as a celebration, be it to honor St. Clement's (the Patron Saint of blacksmiths) or in a 21 anvil salut as found in New Westminster, British Columbia. by jamescookenotthatone

Right. Was deployed to Bosnia in the 90s and they celebrated EVERYTHING with gunfire. Had to always be on high alert, especially when on patrol.
