A resolution signed by the Ada County Board of Commissioners bans all fireworks in Unincorporated Ada County during the current fire season. The move is an effort to protect lives and property in an area that constitutes a severe fire threat.
“Many of us have fond memories of 4th of July family and community gatherings that include colorful fireworks,” said Ada County Commission Chair Kendra Kenyon. “We appreciate the consideration and restraint shown by everyone during this challenging year. While we enjoy these celebratory traditions we also realize that lives and property will always take precedence and that public safety must be our primary focus.”
