Have a Safe & Happy
Fourth of July!
     Broken Bow Police Department hopes you have a safe and happy Fourth of July celebration!
     For your own safety and the safety of the community, please use caution with your displays and be aware that there are city laws regarding fireworks.
     In Broken Bow, City Ordinance #1002 states that fireworks may be used only during the following times: June 25 to July 3 from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and July 4 from 9 a.m. to 12 midnight.
     City Ordinance also states that it shall be unlawful for any person:
     lTo use, discharge or explode any fireworks within any building or in the vicinity of any person or property in a manner that exposes such person or property to injury or damage
     lTo throw any fireworks from or into a motor vehicle, onto any street, highway or sidewalk, at or near any person, into any building or into any group of persons.
     In the event of dry weather or other weather hazards, City Ordinance also gives the City Council the right to ban or further limit the sale/discharge of fireworks.
     Nebraska law prohibits the discharging of illegal fireworks, such as bottle rockets, M-80's, cherry bombs or other fireworks of this type.
     When you are finished with your celebration, please clean up your mess and dispose of it properly. If you have any questions about fireworks, feel free to call me at 872-6424.
