Fireworks Illegal In Liberal

The 4th of July holiday is quickly approaching and the Liberal Police Department (LPD) would like to remind everyone that it is illegal to own, possess, sell, discharge or display fireworks in the city. Liberal City Code 7-205 prohibits anyone who does not hold a permit issued by the city to keep, store, display for sale, sell, fire or discharge any firework in the city at any time. A violation of this ordinance is a Class B misdemeanor with fine amounts of $100.00 to $2,500.00 and the possibility of imprisonment from 30 days to six months. Officers will be actively enforcing this ordinance. Those found in violation will have their fireworks confiscated and citation issued.
