Look out for fireworks booths popping up this weekend in Aurora because, starting Saturday, the city-wide ban on the colorful explosives will lift.
Aurora Fire Rescue has decided to temporarily lift the city’s standing fire restrictions to allow residents to buy and light up fireworks starting Saturday, according to a news release from the fire department.
“None of the nationally recognized metrics we monitor to assess environmental fire risk in our community exceed thresholds requiring a fire ban,” Aurora Fire Chief Alec Oughton stated in the release. “We urge those in our community to take precautions to prevent injuries or fires if you choose to celebrate Independence Day with fireworks.”
The Aurora Fire Rescue Fire Marshal’s Office is in charge of fire restrictions for the city. Throughout the year, a stage one burn restriction remains active to prevent structure and wildfires from starting, according to the fire department. Denver and other jails are ditching programs allowing inmates to go to work — once a mainstay. Here’s why.
