Sarasota: Professional Fireworks Only, Safety Under Burn Ban
Sarasota County Emergency Services reminds residents to leave fireworks displays to professionals. The reminder follows National Fire Protection Association data showing that fireworks cause thousands of injuries each year and start more than 19,500 fires annually. Officials stress that Sarasota County is currently under a burn ban, and igniting fireworks is a violation of that ban. The county urges residents to attend public fireworks displays and avoid lighting their own fireworks this New Year’s Eve to help keep the community safe. Fireworks may be dangerous to people, pets, and property, and using them improperly increases the risk of injury and fire.
