CAPE CHARLES, Va. — The Town of Cape Charles has implemented a temporary ban on fireworks due to extreme drought conditions. The ban, which aims to mitigate the risk of wildfires, will be in effect from June 28 until July 9, 2024.
Cape Charles fire officials have determined that the current dry conditions pose a significant fire hazard. As a result, all fireworks, with the exception of professionally managed displays, are prohibited within town limits. Violating this order could result in a Class 1 misdemeanor charge.
“We understand that traditional Fourth of July celebrations often include fireworks,” said a town representative. “However, as a matter of public safety, we are asking residents and visitors to refrain from using fireworks this year.”
The town urges everyone to prioritize safety and adhere to the ban to prevent potential fires.
