Fireworks notice and safety reminder for residents

Why are fireworks illegal?

As we approach 4th of July, it is important to remind everyone that fireworks are illegal in our city. While it might seem harmless to set off a couple of fireworks, the reality is that this action poses significant risks and disturbances within our community.

Safety first

Fireworks can quickly become a fire hazard, especially in residential areas where homes are close together. A single misfire can lead to devastating fires, causing damage to property and endangering lives. Our fire department and emergency services work to keep our community safe, and avoiding fireworks helps them focus on other critical emergencies.

Consider pets and animals

Many of our residents have pets that are part of the family. Fireworks can cause extreme stress and fear for animals, and scared pets often run away.

We encourage everyone to enjoy the season responsibly. Consider attending public fireworks shows conducted by licensed professionals, which are managed under safety protocols, or find alternative ways to celebrate that do not involve the risks associated with fireworks. Your cooperation helps ensure a safer, happier community for all.
