Fort Worth police shut down an illegal fireworks operation on East Barry and Donalee streets on July 3 after an investigation.<\/p>\n

Police investigators identified the location after police received information about fireworks being advertised on social media.<\/p>\n

The officers were assisted by Fort Worth Fire Department Bomb and Arson and seized a large quantity of fireworks allegedly intended for illegal sale and distribution in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cIllegal fireworks are against the law and put our neighborhoods, first responders, and property at risk,\u201d the department said in a social media post<\/a>. \u201cWe will continue to enforce city ordinances and hold violators accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Setting off fireworks within the Fort Worth city limits is illegal and can result in fines of up to $2,000, according to the city code<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore lighting that fuse, remember that illegal fireworks put our neighborhoods, first responders, pets, and property at risk,\u201d the department said in a separate social media post<\/a>. \u201cLet\u2019s keep the 250th safe and enjoyable for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
