Idaho firework regulations remain as stands begin to open

As stands begin to sell fireworks this Saturday, Caldwell Police Department (CPD) reminds the community of the regulations when it comes to the use of fireworks in Idaho.

CPD says aerial fireworks are strictly prohibited. Although these types of fireworks can be legally purchased, their use is illegal under Idaho law.

CBS 2 reports, examples of illegal fireworks include bottle rockets, skyrockets, Roman candles and other aerial items.

Individuals found misusing fireworks can be held responsible for any resulting damages, including the costs associated with extinguishing fires.

Engaging in the use of illegal fireworks is considered a misdemeanor offense in the state of Idaho.

CPD request that, as you partake in your celebrations, you take into account both Idaho law and the potential impact on your neighbors and their pets.
