HENDERSON, KY, June 30, 2021- July Fourth means it is time to celebrate our nation in the loudest way possible: fireworks.
The City of Henderson wants everyone to enjoy the July 4th holiday by keeping some of the following things in mind from ordinances that address the use
of fireworks within the city limits.
Here's a list of the ones that the Henderson Police Department deals with the most:
1. Fireworks must be handled, stored, used, possessed, and sold in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local law.
2. Fireworks may be used, ignited, fired, or exploded between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. except on July 3 and July 4 when they can be used, ignited, fired or
exploded between 10 a.m. to midnight.
3. No person may use, ignite, fire or explode any fireworks if they are under the age of 18, are within 400 feet of an animal shelter, nursing home or
hospital, any structure, motor vehicle (whether operational or non-operational), or any other person.
4. The use of sky lanterns is prohibited.
Other things to remember:
Please be aware of your neighbors. Do not allow your fireworks to land on their property and keep in mind that not everyone gets to take off work on
the holiday. Be respectful of their pets.
Keep all items away from young children and pets.
Be safe and Happy 4th of July!
