The sounds of the 4th of July; fireworks celebrating our country’s independence. But not all Americans yearn to hear that sound. Some are concerned about the effect that noise may have on veterans, especially those with PTSD. There are those who worry about dogs and other pets trying to run away and hide from the sounds of the exploding cherry bombs. A reminder, that while you can now purchase fireworks anywhere in the state, you may not set them off within the city limits of Marshalltown. It’s ok to do so out in the rural, unincorporated areas of Marshall County. The laws on setting off fireworks vary from county to county, city by city, so, know your local ordinances.
