Ep. 011 Fireworks Safety
Show Notes

If lighting fireworks is included in your plans, please make sure you’re doing it safely and protecting all of your friends, neighbors, and our Colorado open spaces and wildlife by only using permissible fireworks, purchased from a Colorado licensed fireworks store, stand, or tent. Information on fire restrictions and bans can change rapidly. The most current information can and should be obtained from your local county sheriff or the forest service.

In Episode 011, DFPCs Fire & Life Safety Section Chief discusses fireworks safety with 2 fireworks industry titans- Britton Cottrell from TNT Fireworks and Aeron Calkins from Olde Glory Fireworks. 

Using the historic model of community participation in firefighting, we are asking the public to join a modern Fireworks Bucket Brigade - to be a part of the human chain and a partner in properly disposing of fireworks. Learn more at https://dfpc.colorado.gov/fireworks
