Full Notification

   Every year Lake Lure Police Department has numerous calls concerning illegal fireworks.   In the State of North Carolina, there are fireworks that are illegal and it is addressed in General Satute 14-410 thru 414.
   To make it simple, here is a great explanation of what is illegal or not:
      A simple rule of thumb; anything that explodes or is projected into the air is illegal.
      In general, sparklers, fountains and novelty fireworks items that do not explode or are not intended to spin or to leave the ground and fly through the air, are permitted for use in North Carolina.
 Please help us this year by being educated on the North Carolina laws.  We want you to have a safe and fun Independance Day and celebrate our freedom with us.
