During the upcoming Fourth of July weekend, officials plan to write summonses and place some behind bars for possessing illegal fireworks.
“On the Fourth of July weekend, fire marshals and police officers will patrol the region looking for illegal fireworks, which will be confiscated,” Prince William fire and rescue Assistant Chief Hadden Culp said. “The violator will then be charged with the offence and must appear in court.
