Firework sales have begun throughout the state this week, and that includes areas surrounding Bismarck. Bismarck Police want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July week, but also want to give everyone a heads up regarding some local ordinances.
Fireworks are prohibited inside the city limits, which means, they cannot be shot off, or possessed within the confines of the city without a special permit. Fortunately, all of the firework stands are on the routes that lead out of town and can be purchased on the way to your celebration area.
Enjoy the shorter week, and take in all the beauty in the skies to celebrate the day of our independence!
