Aurora Gives Green Light for Ground-Based Fireworks Through July 4th Holiday
Colorado families in Aurora will have a chance to celebrate Independence Day with select fireworks this year, as Aurora Fire Rescue announced a temporary lifting of fire restrictions for certain types of celebratory displays.
The modified restrictions specifically allow for fireworks that remain on the ground and don't create aerial explosions, offering Aurora residents a regulated way to participate in July 4th traditions while maintaining essential safety measures.
What's Allowed and What's Not
Under the temporary allowance, residents can purchase and use:
- Ground-based fireworks only
- Non-explosive varieties
- Fireworks that don't leave the ground
Important safety note: All aerial fireworks and explosives remain prohibited under local ordinances.
Impact on Local Communities
This temporary adjustment affects more than 386,000 Aurora residents and has implications for local businesses, particularly seasonal fireworks vendors who can now legally sell approved items. For Colorado families planning Independence Day celebrations, this provides a regulated option for at-home festivities.
Safety Remains Priority
While this temporary lift offers more celebration options, fire safety officials emphasize the importance of responsible use. Residents should:
- Purchase only from licensed vendors
- Follow all safety instructions
- Keep water sources nearby
- Supervise children at all times
The temporary allowance will remain in effect through July 4th, after which standard fire restrictions will resume. Residents are encouraged to check with their local fire departments for specific guidelines in their neighborhoods.
