Leave the Shows to the Pros!

Senate Bill 140 (2020) makes it legal for Floridians to set off real fireworks, such as Roman candles and bottle rockets, on three specific days every year: the Fourth of July, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day.

Unfortunately, fireworks accidents cause more than 19,500 fires annually. One of the best ways to avoid this type of emergency is to attend a fireworks display held by trained professionals. In other words: Leave the shows to the pros!

We're fortunate to live in an area where multiple displays are happening to celebrate Independence Day. Our friends at SoWal have an online calendar with events and fireworks displays listed that you can view here: Events

Didn't the BCC also update an ordinance prohibiting fireworks from being shot on the beach?
