Fire marshal urges safe use of fireworks and public alerts
The fire marshal stresses professional shows as safest and free, urges private users to follow safety rules like water nearby and soaking used devices. Parks ban fireworks without permission, and Cedar Rapids reports 49 fireworks calls this June 1 to 23, with 636 last year. Local vendors, including Bellino Fireworks in Hiawatha, expect strong sales amid tariff pressures and open June 25 to July 5.
