Fireworks cannot be discharged on public property, including but not limited to public parks, public recreation areas such as ball fields and soccer fields, any school grounds including school playgrounds and athletic facilities, any public right-of-way or public parking areas.
The Dodge City Fire Department advises residents to handle fireworks with safety and supervise children. It is illegal to store fireworks in the city limits when the ban is in place. Residents are encouraged only to purchase what can be used in the three days it is allowed to clean up and dispose of fireworks debris and litter properly.
