Hastings Fire Marshal Anthony Murphy would like to remind everyone to remain diligent to prevent fires and burn injuries. Adults should light and/or supervise the fireworks, and everyone should soak used fireworks in a bucket of water overnight. Veterans and pets don’t necessarily enjoy the noise; Please be mindful of your neighbors and pets and observe the hours of discharge allowed by code.
