(KAIR)--As the Fourth of July approaches closer on the calendar, Atchison residents may be tempted to light off fireworks. However,
“Fireworks are prohibited in the city,” said Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson.
Fire danger, safety risks and noise complaints were the three primary reasons Wilson gave for the banning of fireworks.
He says his officers will be responding to calls about fireworks over the holiday.
“Not only could individuals possibly face charges, but we will also confiscate fireworks,” Wilson said. “The possession of fireworks—as well as the use of fireworks—is prohibited.”
You have several opportunities to see fireworks professionally done throughout the area for free.
For a full list of these events, see the community calendar on our website.
