Village of Deerfield issued the following announcement on July 3.
Home fireworks displays are illegal and dangerous.
Keep yourself, your family, friends and neighbors safe and enjoy professional fireworks displays.
Thousands of people, including many children, end up in hospital emergency rooms each year on and around the Fourth of July because of accidental burns from illegal home fireworks displays.
Never allow children to light or play with any kind of fireworks.
Beyond that, people with PTSD and our four-legged friends may endure emotional harm and anxiety triggered by unplanned fireworks.
Keep yourself and others safe by leaving fireworks to the professionals. Join us at dusk tonight for the Family Days fireworks show at Brickyards Park!
