Shooting fireworks in honor of the Fourth of July is an annual tradition for many, but if you live inside the Corbin city limits, then keep in mind that fireworks are only permitted six days out of the year and only between certain hours on those dates.
“It has been a long lasting tradition to celebrate the July 4th holiday with fireworks and we all enjoy watching the fireworks displays light up the night sky around us. Please note the that the permitted dates and times for fireworks are, July 2,3,4,5,6 and December 31 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. (midnight). We are asking our residents to suppress the desire to celebrate with fireworks except for those days which have been appointed,” the Corbin Police Department wrote in a recent Facebook post.
The post also asks that people be considerate of friends and neighbors, who are trying to sleep, veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and the mental health of our pets.
