Bartlett police to enforce fireworks ban

The Bartlett Police Department is requesting the community's assistance to refrain from possessing, using, or setting off illegal fireworks during the upcoming Fourth of July holiday.

Officers will be proactively enforcing fireworks laws this year, according to the department. Anyone using professional grade fireworks or any other fireworks in a dangerous manner toward other people or property will be cited under village ordinance. Anyone previously cited under the village's fireworks ordinance could face a misdemeanor charge.
