Think Safe reminds citizens to use City-approved fireworks only. These fireworks include those sold by the 19 licensed nonprofit organizations in Blue Springs only. The discharge of bottle rockets and aerial luminaries are prohibited by the City.

Play Smart encourages citizens and their family members to have fun, but be safe when discharging or detonating fireworks. An adult should be present when fireworks are discharged, and people should avoid discharging fireworks in dry areas and around or near pets and animals.

Residents are also asked to be mindful of neighbors, surrounding buildings or structures, to dispose of all debris after discharging fireworks, and to use proper first aid or burn care in case of an emergency. For life-threatening emergencies, call 9-1-1.
