“Don’t do this,” a message from CSFD about July 4

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) – Just two weeks before the Fourth of July, Colorado Springs firefighters took to TikTok to remind people that fireworks are illegal in Colorado Springs.

The CSFD said they didn’t want to celebrate, but all fireworks are illegal in Colorado Springs. They pointed out the possibility of causing unintentional fires or the likelihood of party-goers accidentally injuring themselves while playing with fireworks.

The CSFD reminded those looking for a way to celebrate the holiday to leave it to the professionals and find a safe way to celebrate the holiday.

Do not do it.

ALL fireworks are ILLEGAL in Colorado Springs.
