Wheatland County reminding residents to apply for a fireworks permit

Wheatland County is reminding residents that if they want to enjoy lighting up the night sky during the holiday season they have to apply for a permit for fireworks.

"Be sure to apply for your permits by 3:00 p.m. on December 24," says the county in a news release.

The county mentioned fire permits are also needed for burning clean wood and paper in a pile or pit. However, they're not required for residential fire pits, incinerators, or barbecues.

"There is no charge for a fire or fireworks permit. If conditions are breached or the weather deteriorates, permits may be cancelled at any time," added the county.
