The Lima Police Department is reminding the public the laws about shooting off your own fireworks.
The department has been and will continue to use their social media through the holiday to remind you it is illegal to shoot off fireworks in the state of Ohio. Sgt. Aaron Rode said LPD is actively enforcing the law and will respond to every call they get about firework use. Rode said they won't only respond, but will address anything needed and may issue citations. On Tuesday night, they had 15 calls of that nature. He said the Star Spangled Spectacular may make getting to calls a bit harder, but it will get done.
"We have very serious calls for service that are pending, crimes in progress, but at the same time we also want to make sure the quality of life issues are addressed inside the city," said Rode. "So, like I said, we will respond to fireworks calls and if we locate anyone we will take enforcement action."
You can catch the firework show at the Star Spangled Spectacular tomorrow after sundown.
