Fire Marshal provides info on prohibited & permitted fireworks
While the Los Alamos Fire Department’s Fire Marshal lifted all fire restrictions in the county on June 23 thanks to monsoonal weather patterns, the use of fireworks of all kinds presents serious potential ignition of unwanted fires. Therefore, this July 4, the Fire Marshal’s office has put together a list of prohibited and permitted fireworks in accordance with the Los Alamos County Council-adopted proclamation, which limits certain fireworks.
Read the full press release for information on the prohibited fireworks and the conditions required for the permitted fireworks, who to call to report an issue, and where to get more information.
