Fire and rescue officials: Use legal fireworks safely

THURSDAY, JULY 3 2008

Consumer use of fireworks is life-threatening.  Each year in the U.S., there are injuries, deaths and property damage amounting to millions of dollars due to fireworks.

The Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue suggests leaving fireworks demonstrations to the professionals. 

However, if you choose to purchase fireworks, buy legal fireworks from vendors located within the county and Northern Virginia.  Fireworks from other states may be illegal and use is punishable by fines and/or incarceration if not voluntarily surrendered (Chapter 9, Article V of the Prince William County Code of Ordinances).  For a list of permissible fireworks you can purchase, visit the Prince William County Department of Fire and Rescue www.pwcgov.org/fire and click on Fireworks.
