Thinking About Your Independence Day Plans? The Fireworks Hotline Is Your Safety Resource.
Independence Day is one of the most celebrated Holidays in our community. While the professional fireworks shows are still expected to occur nearby, an individual’s use of fireworks that explode or leave the ground are always illegal.
What can I do if I witness illegal fireworks?
• If you see illegal fireworks, call the Fireworks Hotline 303-814-7118. The Hotline will be staffed and available to receive fireworks-related complaints from July 3 through July 5, between 6 p.m. and midnight each evening.
• Outside of these dates and hours, report fireworks-related concerns through Douglas Regional 9-1-1's non-emergency line at 303-660-7500.
• Do not call 9-1-1 unless there is an emergency.
Additional Safety Tips:
• Be extra careful with legal sparklers and small fireworks — they can still cause fires.
• Avoid using legal fireworks near grass, dry vegetation, or in windy conditions.
