Keenesburg warns illegal fireworks will prompt summons amid high fire risk
Keenesburg Police urge residents to avoid illegal fireworks this Fourth of July because exceptionally dry conditions make grass fires likely and violators will receive summonses.
The Keenesburg Police Department says anyone setting off illegal fireworks in or around Keenesburg should expect to be issued a summons. With this year’s exceptionally dry conditions, a single mistake can spark a grass fire that threatens homes, property, livestock and lives, so officers ask residents to celebrate responsibly.
