Recently a bill was passed to allow Iowa residents to shoot off fireworks on July 3rd, 4th, and December 31st. We spoke with Marshalltown Fire Chief Christopher Cross about what that means for us here in town.
Cross says it’ll be business as usual for the Fire Department despite the change.
He says fireworks are fun to have and to use, but there are many things people can do to stay safe while using them to celebrate and have a good time. He asks people participating in the celebrations to be respectful and to stay safe while doing so.
