Jennings Fire Department (JFD) advocates for residents to use safety precautions while handling fireworks. Fireworks are often used to mark special events and holidays, including Christmas and New Year’s. Although fireworks are prohibited in Jennings by city ordinance, those living outside the city limits are permitted to create a dazzling display of lights, much to the delight of their family and friends. However, igniting fireworks at home can be dangerous if basic safety precautions are not taken.
