Fireworks reminder!
Fireworks reminder! 
The North Aurora Police Department would like to remind residents that fireworks are illegal in the Village of North Aurora and the State of Illinois. The North Aurora Police Department asks residents to leave fireworks to the professionals and enjoy one of the local municipal displays.
North Aurora code 9.12.070 prohibits the use of fireworks, as defined by the Fireworks Use Act (425 ILCS 35/1), within the municipal limits of North Aurora. It is a violation of ordinance for “any person or any property owner to aid, abet, assist, consult, advise, encourage, permit or allow any person to possess or offer for sale, . . . use or explode fireworks. A property owner, or any lawful occupant of the property shall be presumed to have violated this provision if fireworks are possessed, used or sold” on their property.
Illegal fireworks include M-80s, cherry bombs, firecrackers, bottle rockets, and roman candles. The only use of fireworks allowed are by professional pyrotechnic operators upon the issuance of a permit.
Besides the obvious safety issues, fireworks disturb your neighbors and their pets. The North Aurora Police Department will respond to fireworks complaints with zero tolerance for violations. Under North Aurora ordinance, homeowners may receive a citation that carries a fine from $50 to $750.
The Village of North Aurora will be holding our Independence Day celebration and fireworks show on Sunday, July 3 at Riverfront Park (25 East State Street), which is right next to Village Hall.
