Fireworks will not be allowed outside city limits in Ada County. The ban comes as temperatures continue to climb and drought conditions worsen.

Keep in mind that while aerial fireworks are legal to buy here in Idaho, they are not legal to set off within the state. This is the law whether drought conditions are present or not. Firecrackers are also illegal to fire off in Idaho.

This years ban is in effect even on private land.

Keep in mind that this is not just to steal away our fun, According to an article on KTVB, over the past four years 19 fires have been started between July 3rd and July 5th.

People are being encouraged to attend the City of Boise’s official fireworks display in Ann Morrison Park.

Fireworks stands are now open and if you do choose to set off your own fireworks it is highly encouraged to follow the law and use good judgement. Used fireworks should be soaked in water and properly disposed of, never let children light fireworks, and do not try to re-light “dud” fireworks.

Let’s all have a safe and fire free 4th of July.
