Reminder on when fireworks can be used in Kirksville

(Kirksville, MO) - Firework sales may have begun, but here is a reminder that fireworks may only be used within the City from June 30 to July 5, between the hours of 9:00 am and 11:00 pm, on your own property.

However, if a complaint is received and verified by the Kirksville Police Department as a disturbance of the peace, discharging shall immediately cease. Those complaints can be made on the non-emergency line at 660.665.5621.

During this time of year, the City receives messages from residents who either want the window of selling and using fireworks extended, or residents who want fireworks to be prohibited. The City Council has decided to keep the current regulations in place. Learn more about fireworks regulations in the City Code at library.municode.com/mo/kirksville/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=COOR_CH18FIPRPR_ARTIIFI.

Please use caution when lighting fireworks to prevent injuries and property damage.
