Florissant Police Remind Area

Residents Fireworks are Illegal

– The Florissant Police Department is reminding that the Discharge and Possession of Fireworks is illegal in St. Louis County as well as the City of Florissant.

Chief Tim Lowery said, “We are letting everyone know that fireworks are prohibited through an aggressive campaign which includes yard signs, digital message boards, and social media in order to spread the word about the many dangers that come with fireworks not being properly discharged.”

Some of the dangers include bodily injury as well as extensive property damage if they are not closely monitored by responsible adults. City leaders are urging residents to leave the fireworks to the professionals and come enjoy the city’s free fireworks display at the James J. Eagan center on July 4 at dusk.

The Police Department will have a Zero Tolerance approach when enforcing the fireworks ordinances which can carry up to $1000 fine if a summons is issued to offenders.
