The Bay City Police Department has extra officers on patrol to enforce the city’s ban on fireworks. Code Enforcement Director Dan Shook warns that illegal use of fireworks will result in citations and seizure of the fireworks. However, Bay City’s Parks and Recreation department will provide a free, licensed professional firework display at Le Tulle Park on July 4th at 9:30 p.m. Outside the city, in Matagorda County, where a burn ban is in effect, extreme caution must be exercised with fireworks due to the risk of fires.
