Description

Fireworks Safety in the Grove The Fox River Grove Police Department would like to remind everyone that most fireworks are illegal, even those that many consider to be “safe”. Each July, thousands of people are injured while using illegal fireworks and they cause more than 18,000 fires each year, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Fireworks are typically defined by two categories: approved consumer fireworks which include sparklers, sparking cones, fountains, repeaters, mines, comets, tubes, shells, fancy florals and parachutes. Prohibited consumer fireworks are illegal to possess and use in Illinois. These include sky lanterns, hand-held fireworks, bottle rockets, firecrackers of any size/type, sky rockets, roman candles, chasers, buzz bombs, helicopters, missiles, pinwheels and planes. All fireworks should be considered dangerous, as the associated risks include devastating burns, eye injuries, fires, loss of appendages and death. Firework use should be left to the pros! cohol, pop, or snacks. Please support the local groups that are donating their time and profits to help pay for the fireworks. •No pets.
