🚒 WEATHERFORD FIRE DEPARTMENT – FIREWORKS INFORMATION
With recent discussion regarding Oklahoma's new Rocket's Red Glare Act (SB 1948), the Weatherford Fire Department would like to remind residents that while state law has changed regarding the sale and use of certain consumer fireworks, the discharge of fireworks remains prohibited within the City of Weatherford city limits under local ordinance.
Residents should be aware that:
❌ The discharge or use of fireworks within the City of Weatherford is prohibited.
❌ The Rocket's Red Glare Act does not override the City's local ordinance prohibiting the discharge of fireworks within city limits.
Fireworks can create significant fire hazards, especially during Oklahoma's hot, dry, and windy summer conditions. Even small fireworks and sparklers can ignite grass, vegetation, structures, or other combustible materials.
For those who choose to use fireworks in areas where they are legally permitted outside city limits, please follow all applicable state and county regulations and use extreme caution. Always have a water source available, keep a safe distance from structures and dry vegetation, and never leave fireworks unattended.
The Weatherford Fire Department encourages everyone to celebrate safely and responsibly while helping protect our community from preventable fires and injuries.
If you have questions regarding fireworks regulations within the City of Weatherford, please contact the Weatherford Fire Department.
