As we celebrate the warm weather and summer holidays, the Ashtabula Police Department would like to remind residents that while Ohio law permits certain consumer fireworks, City of Ashtabula ordinance prohibits the discharge of fireworks within city limits except for properly permitted public displays.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in helping keep our neighborhoods safe, peaceful, and enjoyable for all. 🇺🇸🎆🚔
