Celebrate July 4 Safely “Rock the Bluffs” Fireworks Show Scheduled for Saturday Night Erin Walti/Sun
With the upcoming July 4 holiday, the local authorities want to remind everyone to celebrate in a safe, responsible manner.
The City of Chamberlain and the Town of Oacoma share the same ordinance when it comes to the shooting of fireworks. People are not allowed to shoot fireworks with allowances from June 27 through July 5. People can only shoot fireworks from 10 am to 10 pm on those days, except for July 4, when people can shoot from 10 am to midnight.
While city residents are limited on when and where they can celebrate with fireworks, rural residents in Brule County are not. The county does not have any permanent restrictions or ordinances in place. However, Brule County Auditor Pam Petrak did note that the county can enact some temporary restrictions.
