**Media Advisory** In addition to offering media interviews today after 3:00pm, the Boise Fire Department and the Meridian Fire Department will be offering a demonstration on how to safely use fireworks on July 1st.
Firework stands open June 23 across the Treasure Valley and the Boise Fire Department is again reminding people to be safe when using fireworks to celebrate. Every year Boise Fire responds to multiple fires started by fireworks. In the past four years, there have been at least 19 fires that were confirmed to have been started by fireworks between July 3 and July 5. If you plan on setting off your own fireworks please review the safety information below detailing where and when it’s okay to light off fireworks. We also encourage you to attend the City of Boise public fireworks display at Ann Morrison Park on the 4th of July.
