In Alexandria, Virginia, the local government suggests reporting neighbors who are using fireworks, said an X post.<\/p>\n

\u201cFireworks are illegal in Alexandria, including sparklers. Report illegal fireworks by calling 311. Our show is next weekend,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny fireworks found inside the City can be taken away. If you are caught with fireworks, you could face a Class 1 misdemeanor charge. That means up to one year in jail, a $2,500 fine or both,\u201d the Alexandria Fire Department reminded the community in a press release.<\/p>\n

The city of over 150,000 hosts a grand finale fireworks display on July 11, with music and poetry reading, according to Alexandria\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cJoin us at the City Birthday celebration on Saturday, July 11, for a safe, legal fireworks show. There are also displays in cities and counties across the National Capital Region. Many are visible from Alexandria\u2019s waterfront on the 4th of July,\u201d the fire department\u2019s release added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlexandria\u2019s ban on private fireworks reflects the city\u2019s commitment to public safety and preserving its historic character. With centuries-old buildings and dense historic neighborhoods, even consumer fireworks pose an outsized risk,\u201d a City of Alexandria spokesperson told Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe policy helps protect irreplaceable landmarks while also reducing injuries, property damage and noise. Residents and visitors can still enjoy the tradition from the Alexandria waterfront,\u201d the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n

Alexandria officials did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

The city,\u00a0across the Potomac River from the nation\u2019s capital,\u00a0adopted the firework ban in 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling, display and use of fireworks within the City of Alexandria is prohibited,\u201d the memorandum establishing the ban states.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach year, fireworks are the cause of numerous injures, deaths and property loss, Alexandria Deputy Chief Garret Dyer said in a news release from the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.<\/p>\n

Other Virginia jurisdictions\u00a0such as\u00a0Arlington are following suit,\u00a0according to the Alexandria Brief.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Arlington, any firework that explodes, flies into the air or moves laterally along the ground is strictly prohibited,\u201d Arlington County Battalion Fire Chief Matthew Cobb said in the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments release.<\/p>\n
