North Platte, Neb. - Fireworks officially go on sale this Friday, June 28th in North Platte and the North Platte Police Department wants to remind residents of rules and regulations for discharging fireworks in city limits. 

According to the North Platte Police Department, from June 28th - July 3rd, fireworks can be discharged in city limits from 12:00pm - 10:00pm. On the 4th of July, fireworks can be discharged from 8:00am - 11:59pm.  

The North Platte Police Department says always watch your children around fireworks, to pick up after yourself when done using fireworks. To report non-emergency or firework violations, North Platte Police says to call 308-535-6789 and that 911 should be ONLY used for emergencies, not firework violations. 

One last reminder from the North Platte Police Department is that while Nebraska allows the sale of bottle rockets, bottle rockets are still illegal and cannot be discharged in North Platte city limits.
