Just so you know….

Fireworks banNeighbors,

I received this information from the City of Oklahoma and wanted to pass this on to you. Please do not set off any fireworks in the neighborhood.
You will find several public displays listed below, but it is against the law to set these off on private property.

Also please do not take your pets to public displays. It hurts their ears and scares them. Several pets are lost each year by taking them to a public display as they try to run to hid.
Have a safe holiday!

Remember that it’s illegal to buy, sell or use fireworks in the City of Oklahoma City as you make plans for Independence Day celebrations.

Sparklers, snakes, bottle rockets and all other popular fireworks are included in the ban. The ban applies to all private and public property in Oklahoma City, including parks, lakes and areas along the Oklahoma River.

Locations with Fire Department permits for professional fireworks displays include:

Check out the Fire Department’s video about fireworks safety for more information about how to stay safe this weekend, and share it with your friends.

Violators of the City’s fireworks ordinances are subject to a fine of $177, confiscation of fireworks and a possible jail sentence.
