JFVD Fireworks Advisory

Chief Hochgesang asks residents to be respectful and courteous of their neighbors by following the guidelines the State of Indiana has set for fireworks and to remember to set a good example for your neighborhood by cleaning up all debris left behind after discharging fireworks, adding. “Fireworks users are responsible for where fireworks are set off, where they go and the mess they leave behind.” 

The chief reminds citizens of state laws pertaining to the use of fireworks: 

• Fireworks may be used: 

o Only on the user’s property

o At a special discharge location

o June 29 to July 3: 9am - 5pm until two hours past sunset 

o July 4: from 10am to midnight
