With New Years often comes fireworks in the Shreveport area and throughout the ArkLaTex.
The Bossier City Fire Department advises residents in Bossier City who plan to celebrate the holiday with fireworks to keep a few important tips in mind.
Bossier City’s fireworks ordinance allows fireworks to be sold and set off within the city limits from December 23 through January 1 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The exception is on New Year’s Eve when fireworks may be discharged until 12:30 a.m.
Meanwhile, Shreveport officials are urging residents to NOT fire off fireworks to ring in the New Year. Officials from the Shreveport Police Department says there are plenty of ways to celebrate the New Year without fireworks and especially without firearms!
