With the Fourth of July fast approaching, area cities are releasing guidelines for where fireworks will be allowed and when. With the change in Cassville's fireworks policy this year, all area municipalities allow fireworks to be discharged inside the city limits for at least a few days.
Cassville residents, for the first time in recent memory, will be allowed to discharge fireworks inside the city limits. On July 1, 2 and 3, from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., and July 4, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. residents can set them off, but they may not be discharged within 100 feet of a hospital, fireworks stand or nursing home.
Exeter's policy for fire works this year allows residents to shoot them off for a three-day span. On July 3, 4 and 5 they can be discharged from sunrise to midnight each day.
The City of Purdy announced fireworks will be allowed inside the city limits for a two week period around the Fourth. Residents can shoot fireworks starting Friday, June 28, through Sunday, July 7, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day. The Purdy Police Department also reminded residents: "Please have respect for your neighbors when doing so.
"Anyone caught discharging fireworks at: buildings, houses, people, animals, vehicles, from vehicles, or in any reckless or dangerous manner will have their fireworks confiscated and will be issued a citation."
Inside city limits, Seligman residents can discharge fireworks beginning week before the Fourth of July and week after until 10 p.m. each evening. The time is extended on July 4 until midnight.
Washburn residents can discharge fireworks from Sunday, June 30, through Saturday, July 6, from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fireworks are not allowed to be discharged within 150 feet of City Hall nor on city streets.
Wheaton residents could begin shooting off fireworks as of last Thursday, June 20, through July 6. Fireworks need to finish up by 10:30 p.m. each evening, except for July 4, 5 and 6, which allows until 11 p.m.
Butterfield will allow fireworks from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. with no date restrictions in the city ordinance.
Fireworks are not permitted if there is a city-wide or county-wide burn ban in place.
Make sure to never light fireworks near dry grass or surfaces that could catch fire.
