🇺🇸 4th of July Reminders 🇺🇸

💥It is illegal to shoot off fireworks inside Farmington City limits, with the exception of small Division 1.4G fireworks such as poppers, snappers, and smoke devices which conform to all other local, State, and Federal requirements.

💥The possession and use of all other fireworks are prohibited except for the purpose of organized public fireworks exhibitions which have been permitted and approved by the Farmington Fire Chief.

💥According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2023, U.S hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 9,700 people for fireworks related injuries; a 1-month special study period between June 16, 2023 and July 16, 2023 found that nearly half of the fireworks-related injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments were to the extremities (35% hands and fingers, 8% legs, 5% arms) and 22% were to the head, face, and ears. Children younger than 15 years of age accounted for 32% of the estimated 2023 injuries.

💥The Farmington Police and Fire Departments would like to remind residents to refrain from shooting off fireworks inside City limits and recommends planning to attend one of the many local shows that are put on by professional fireworks crews.

💥In Farmington, a professional fireworks show will take place at Engler Park on July 4th. The Fireworks Over Farmington event includes live music beginning at 6pm, food trucks, and a cooling tent. The fireworks show will begin at dusk, approximately 9:15PM, on Saturday, July 4th.

‼️Never, never, never leave children, disabled or elderly adults, or pets in parked, unattended vehicles!

🌡Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to dangerous levels for people and pets. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate internal temperature.
