Quick & Clear Update on Fireworks 🎆

The possession and shooting off of consumer fireworks is ILLEGAL in the Town of Gorham.
This applies to all backyard fireworks, including the ones you can legally buy at a retail store down the road. Unless it is an officially licensed, town-approved public display handled by professionals, setting them off can result in fines up to $1,000 and immediate property seizure.

(The last post went full Chief Willhoite with all the RSA chapters and town codes. Consider this the legal TL;DR version! 😄)

Stay safe, keep it quiet, and have a wonderful summer
