Montgomery County Fire and Rescue officials are reminding residents that all fireworks, including sparklers and consumer-grade types, are illegal year-round in the county due to safety risks, and violators may face fines or jail time.
Per MCFRS: “As summer celebrations, graduations, and Independence Day approaches, MCFRS Fire Chief Corey Smedley and the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS) want to remind residents and visitors that ALL fireworks are illegal year-round in Montgomery County — and with good reason. Fireworks can cause devastating injuries, start fires, and damage property. Not to mention the trauma to animals and pets. Let’s keep our community safe and celebrations injury-free this Summer and the upcoming Fourth of July holiday.
