Clark County officials are reminding the public that only legal fireworks can be used in the county and immediate cities.
According to a news release shared by the Clark County government, only "safe and sane" fireworks will be allowed for purchase within the county from June 28 through July 4. Fireworks cannot be set off after midnight on July 4.
“Illegal fireworks are especially dangerous in our dry climate, and we are asking people to not buy them for use anywhere in Clark County,” said Clark County Fire Chief John Steinbeck in the release.
The release reported that even permitted fireworks could pose a danger because of the wildfire risk in the area. Clark County Wetlands Park, along with other area parks, public lands in southern Nevada, including Mount Charleston, Lake Mead and Red Rock Canyon do not allow the use of fireworks.
Steinbeck added: “We encourage people who want to celebrate with fireworks to only use the 'safe and sane’ type sold at local stands with careful adult supervision and to leave the big shows to the professionals that go through a permitting process to host them at community events.”
Clark County advises consumers to buy fireworks from area vendors who have been given the green light to sell “safe and sane” fireworks.
