Pyrotechnicians of all skill levels will be putting on fireworks displays tonight and throughout the upcoming holiday weekend. Lake Ozark Assistant Fire Chief Matt Birdsley says anyone putting on their own displays should first do a little background to see if it’s even legal…
Birdsley also says it helps to use some common sense before shooting off fireworks…
Other helpful tips include: being aware of your surroundings, having a water source nearby and, as difficult as it may be, read directions before lighting up. One other option would be to go watch a public display such as in Eldon or at any one of the several other locations around the Lake.
