The term "fireworks," as used in this section, shall be defined as provided in Wis. Stats. § 167.10(1), and shall be deemed to include all fireworks, rockets or similar missiles containing explosive fuel."

Our officers will be taking enforcement action against those who choose to disregard this ordinance. The safety of all residents and visitors is our #1 priority. Please be respectful of your neighbors and stay safe during this fun time of year.
