Fireworks during heat wave spark complaints
Someone was lighting off fireworks in Vernon on Tuesday evening, which fire officials say is not only illegal, but also a danger to public safety.
Vernon Fire Rescue Services received multiple complaints about fireworks in the Okanagan Landing area on July 9.
“While the individuals were not identified, this incident serves as an important reminder,” a city news release stated.
The use of consumer fireworks and sky lanterns is prohibited within the city’s boundaries.
