In Aurora, you can legally use fireworks that don't leave the ground or explode, but safety is a top priority for Aurora Fire Rescue. Fireworks stands will soon open in Aurora, allowing safe use starting Saturday. The city has a year-round stage one fire restriction, but it may be lifted near the Fourth of July for celebrations. Factors like fuel moisture, energy levels, weather patterns, and resources are considered before lifting the restriction. Sparklers, reaching temperatures of 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, can cause injuries and should be handled with caution. It is important to extinguish fireworks properly and soak them in water overnight. Attending the city's professional fireworks show is recommended for a safe and enjoyable experience.
