Fireworks safe zone controversy stalls at county level
County commissioners did not add a July 4th safe zone to the agenda due to difficulty finding a willing landowner for up to 100 acres. Commissioner Gardner said fireworks must avoid roads and private property not owned by the shooter, effectively limiting public use. A special meeting had proposed a police and fire supervised zone to prevent grass fires amid drought and a ban on aerial devices. The Monday meeting in Odessa will consider multiple items including burn ban extension, Schmidt Field improvements funding, and various contracts.
