Hopkinsville police are reminding the public about the fireworks ordinance as tents are going up around the city.
Fireworks can only be used between July 1 and 5 and New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in Hopkinsville and you must either be 18 or older or supervised by an adult.
They must also be shot between the hours of 10 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. and should not be ignited within 200 feet of any structure or person. It’s also against the ordinance to discharge fireworks from a moving vehicle.
Officers have already responded to several calls of illegal firework usage.
