As we begin to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, remember to follow the law, stay safe, and be courteous. 🇺🇸

We know that fireworks are often part of many people’s summer celebrations. However, each year, we respond to hundreds of fireworks-related calls – many of which could be prevented by everyone taking a moment to understand the city ordinances and state laws surrounding their use.

Please remember:

• Fireworks come with a fire risk as well as the potential for criminal damage to property.

• Responsible use of legal fireworks includes cleaning up the trash and debris they leave behind.

• Be considerate of others and understand how fireworks can impact your neighbors.
