Fireworks Ban Strictly Enforced This Year

SAPD, SAFD and Bexar Co. officials will strictly enforce area fireworks bans due to dry conditions and the number of fireworks related brush fires occurring during last New Year's celebrations.

According to city ordinance, fireworks are illegal within San Antonio, and thus Finesilver Ranch, at all times. Though Bexar Co. established safe zones for personal displays, the Fire Marshall bans the use of aerial fireworks, such as skyrockets with sticks and missiles with fins.

The closest safe zones are I-10 West at Old Fredericksburg Rd. and Talley Rd. at FM 471.

The Express News provides a list of professional fireworks displays.
