It’ll be OK to shoot fireworks in the rural areas of Ellis County over the July 4 holiday.
Fireworks will be allowed Tuesday, July 2, Wednesday, July 3, and Thursday, July 4., from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
“In the past we’ve chosen the same dates as the city of Hays just to kind of help eliminate confusion and keep us the same as the city,” said Emergency Preparedness Director Darin Myers, speaking Monday evening during the regular meeting of the Ellis County Commission at the Ellis County Administrative Center, 718 Main St.
Other jurisdictions allowing fireworks, so far, are the city of Ellis, as well as Trego, Rush, Rooks and Russell counties.
