Fireworks restrictions remain in place

CLOVIS — The Curry County Fire and Safety Department is reminding county residents fireworks restrictions are currently in place in the county’s unincorporated areas.

The proclamation, approved by the Curry County Commission in its June 1 meeting, restricts the sale and use of certain aerial fireworks and ground audible fireworks including helicopters, aerial spinners, missile rockets, stick rockets, chasers and firecrackers.

Permitted fireworks in the incorporated county areas include ground and hand-held sparking devices, Roman candles, shells and mines; however, their uses should be limited to areas that are either paved or barren or have readily accessible water sources.

The commission will revisit the fireworks proclamation at its June 29 meeting.
