No State Ban on Fireworks

June 29th, 2011 by flanews

There will be no statewide ban on fireworks this Fourth of July weekend. Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam told reporters today there has been enough rain to make a case for the explosives, although county bans will likely stay in place.

“Given the good rains that we have had in the last week I do not anticipate a statewide burn ban order coming from this office,” said Putnam.

The number of wildfires has dropped by about half from a week ago when more than four hundred fires burned through the state.
