Fire Chief Kenny Hochgesang issued this statement regarding the safe and proper use of fireworks for the upcoming 4th of July Celebration:
“One thing fireworks users tend to forget is that they are responsible for where fireworks are set off, where they go and the mess they leave behind”, says Hochgesang. “Be safe, and please be careful!”
He asks residents to be respectful and courteous of their neighbors by following the guidelines the State of Indiana has set for fireworks and to remember to set a good example for your neighborhood by cleaning up all debris left behind after discharging fireworks.
