Englewood City Council voted at a July 1 special meeting to proceed with its Independence Day fireworks display, according to the city’s announcement that day.
The city said professional displays were exempt from Arapahoe County’s Stage 2 fire restrictions when handled by licensed professionals under public-safety supervision. Its plan called for Fire Marshal oversight and dedicated fire-suppression resources at the display.
Wind conditions were to be checked again immediately before the show. Private fireworks remained prohibited under the restrictions. The council’s decision authorized the professional-display plan; it did not remove the separate limits on residents’ fireworks.
