FORT SMITH- Local police want to remind everyone that fireworks are not permitted to be shot off within city limits.
“Violating a fireworks ordinance is a misdemeanor offense bringing with it financial damages,” stated the Fort Smith Police Department in a Facebook post. “It also can disturb your neighbors, scare pets, and lead to false shooting reports.”
If you are staying in the city for Independence Day and would like to see fireworks, the 2019 Mayor’s 4th of July Celebration will be taking place downtown.
Fireworks will start at 9:30 PM.
Inside Fort Smith would like to remind everyone to stay safe on the 4th!
