Fireworks Safety This Fourth of July | Des Moines News

Fire chiefs are sounding the alarm ahead of the Fourth of July, warning that old fireworks are dangerously unstable and should be tossed — not lit. In Iowa, fireworks are strictly limited to private property, with strict time limits: July 3rd until 10 p.m., and July 4th until 11 p.m. Public spaces like parks are off-limits — a reminder of last year’s devastating Greenbelt Park fire. If you spot illegal use, call non-emergency; for injuries or fires, dial 911. Safety, respect, and fresh fireworks are the only way to celebrate without a cautionary tale.
