The fireworks ban has been lifted for unincorporated El Paso County, the El Paso County Sherriff’s Office announced in a release Monday.

The ban was originally put in to place on June 1.

Although El Paso County has various topographical features where some terrain may experience large amounts of moisture and others remain dry, at this time it does not warrant going into fire restrictions, according to the sheriff’s office. 

Fire Districts in El Paso County still request you exercise extreme caution when using any flame producing device or fire.

“The Sheriff, Deputy Fire Warden, the National Weather Service, and other Fire officials will continue to monitor weather and fire danger conditions and may enact additional restrictions as needed in the days and weeks to come,” the release said. 

But fireworks within the city limits of Colorado Springs are illegal, the Colorado Springs Fire Department tweeted.

Any display that leaves the ground or has a fuse is considered illegal, the agency said. Buying and selling fireworks within city limits is also illegal.

“Please enjoy any of the professional displays scheduled,” the department tweeted.
