Between Friday morning and Sunday night, Longmont police responded to 279 fireworks related calls, issued 21 tickets and 37 warnings, and the Longmont Fire Department reported one fireworks-related grass fire.

“Other than the extra 279 calls for service, it appeared to be a normal weekend,” Cmdr. Jeff Satur said, adding that the number of calls was consistent for the Fourth of July holiday. “Nothing major happened, which is good.”

A 3-foot high metal trash can in the Longmont police evidence room was full of confiscated illegal fireworks on Monday morning, and Satur said city fire stations had also been set up with fireworks barrels.

Boulder police responded to 90 fireworks complaints and issued nine tickets, and the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office received 30 fireworks complaint calls between Friday and Sunday, and a deputy issued one warning, officials said.

Frederick Police Chief Gary Barbour said his department issued one ticket between Friday and Sunday, and officers also responded to several traffic accidents related to vehicles leaving the Fourth at Firestone event.

“Officers made lots of contacts with people about fireworks but were not usually able to identify exactly who fired any off,” Barbour said. “They engaged in as much public education as they could.”

Firestone police officers responded to 67 calls on July Fourth, about 30 of which were fireworks-related, and Dacono police responded to 15 fireworks complaints between Friday and Sunday, officials said.

The Lafayette police department reported 25 firework complaint calls from Friday to Sunday, but officers issued no tickets.

Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District responded to a couple of grass fires on Saturday, but they could not be connected to fireworks. Mountain View Fire Rescue responded to two grass fires, but neither was fireworks-related fires, officials said.

Longmont Fire Department spokeswoman Molly Meehan said one grass fire appears to have been firework-related, and Longmont United Hospital spokeswoman Barbara Turney said three patients were treated for fireworks-related burns.

Mike Lowder, a records and property/evidence custodian for the Erie Police Department, said officers issued 33 warnings from June 23 to July 5.

He added that officers responded to 48 fireworks-related calls in that time frame and were unable to locate a suspect in 15 of the calls. No citations were issued.

“We start with education of the public,” Lowder said. “If there is non-compliance and we are called back to the same address, a citation may be issued.”
