ABILENE, Texas — With the Fourth of July comes sparklers, bonfires and of course, fireworks.
This year, the City of Abilene is working with the Abilene Police and Fire Departments to ensure a safe holiday for the community.
Lighting fireworks in the city is considered a Class C citation with a potential penalty of up to $500, as there is a high fire risk when engaging in this type of activity.
From 4 p.m. July 2- July 4, citizens can call a Firework Hotline to report any prohibited instances and the 9-1-1 number will remain available as usual.
Call 325-676-6598 to make a report directly to the department.
