Fireworks Sparked 28 Calls This July | Bozeman News

The Fourth of July turned into a fire-fighting marathon for the Lockwood Fire District, with crews responding to 28 incidents—mostly fireworks-related—over just two days. Battalion Chief Ryan Staley warns that even with some rain, dry grass is primed to ignite, and with fireworks legal in the county but not the city, crowds flocked to the area. He stresses safety: use fireworks only on hard surfaces, never leave them unattended, and always have water nearby. Even “spent” fireworks can reignite—leading to dumpster and grass fires. Stay vigilant, dispose of debris safely, and remember: your celebration shouldn’t become someone else’s emergency.
