\"nofireworks\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Over 200 people\u00a0go to the emergency room on or near the fourth each year. People die from different fireworks related accidents. Small Children and Family pets can be terrorized by fireworks.<\/p>\n

According to our Police Department the City of Florissant and the Nation has experienced a noticeable increase in the amount and size of the pyrotechnics that individuals are using near the 4th of July and New Year\u2019s Eve which has resulted in complaints of peace disturbance.<\/p>\n

A more disturbing trend is the National increase in the discharge of Fire Arms for the 4th of July and New Year\u2019s. What goes up must come down and spent bullets can kill or maim a child, adult or pet and cause expensive property damage. Discharging firearms is always illegal and violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.<\/p>\n

The sale, possession and use of fireworks are prohibited by law in section 215.020 of the Florissant City Code which was enacted by the city council several decades ago. This administration has placed a renewed priority on enforcement of this ordinance in an effort to prevent death, injury, fires and disturbance of the peace, Mayor Schneider said. Violators will be subject to a fine of up to $1000.<\/p>\n

Florissant provides a safe, professional Fireworks Display each Independence Day. This year\u2019s display again includes a Northwinds Band Patriotic Concert at the James J. Eagan Center grounds and citizens and guests to enjoy Independence Day fireworks safely this year. The public is encouraged to notify the police department at 314-831-7000 of any illegal fireworks or firearms activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
