fireworks safety

Make sure you know the applicable laws this Independence Day before you set off your backyard extravaganza and annoy wow your neighbors.

Evansville firefighters will demonstrate the proper use of fireworks and copies of the local fireworks ordinance will be available at the Traveling City Hall meeting tonight, Wednesday, June 26, from 5:30pm-7pm at Howell General Baptist Church, 1520 Delmar Ave.

Show me someone who doesn't think fireworks are awesome, and I'll show you someone who doesn't love America, and freedom, and gun powder. But as awesome as they are, fireworks can also be pretty damn dangerous.
