Like many things, fireworks are going to look a little different this July 4. With 72-square miles in our Fire District, we serve numerous communities here in St. Charles County, and each municipality has established fireworks regulations. Take a look below for the regulations where you live. If you do decide to set off fireworks at home, please be careful, and keep them away from children and pets. Remember, we’re only a 911 call away if you need help.
