Jasper Fire Chief Kenny Hochgesang is urging residents to celebrate responsibly this Fourth of July by following Indiana’s fireworks laws and keeping neighborhoods clean. Fireworks can only be used on the user’s property, on property with the owner’s consent, or at a designated discharge site.

State law allows consumer fireworks to be set off from June 29 to July 3 between 9 a.m. and two hours after sunset, on July 4 from 10 a.m. to midnight, and from July 5 to July 9 between 9 a.m. and two hours after sunset.

Chief Hochgesang asks everyone to be courteous to neighbors and remember they are responsible for where fireworks are set off, where they land, and cleaning up all debris left behind.

For questions, residents can contact the Jasper Fire Department at 812-482-1741.
