The Dawson Creek Fire Department is reminding residents that the use of fireworks in the City is prohibited.  

They say that fireworks have the potential to cause serious injury and the only safe way to view fireworks is to attend a professional show.  

In Dawson Creek, displays/discharges must comply with the City of Dawson Creek Fire Protection Bylaw No. 4153, 2020. The Bylaw is available HERE.

They provided some alternative ideas from the National Fire Protection Association, including: 

  • Use glow sticks as a safe alternative to a sparkler 
  • Use noise makers to be loud and proud and make a statement 
  • Have an outdoor movie night 
  • Use silly string 
  • Create some family crafts
