Fireworks Lifted in Randall County

The ban on the sale or use of fireworks in Randall County has been lifted.

The Randall County Commissioners Court determined on advisement from Chief Joe Koch of the Randall County Fire Department, that the recent rainfall had brought the drought conditions outside of the needed drought index to continue the ban.

This means that the use of fireworks will be permitted in the county around the July 4th holiday, pending any further drought complications.

The sale and use of fireworks within Amarillo city limits is determined by city ordinances.

The Randall County Fire Department is reminding the public to use caution when using fireworks this holiday season.
