Brick Township Police Issue Memorial Day Fireworks Safety Reminder

BRICK TOWNSHIP, NJ – The Brick Township Police Department is urging residents to celebrate Memorial Day weekend safely and responsibly. In a community-wide message, local law enforcement reminded everyone of the legal and safety guidelines surrounding the use of fireworks.

While certain types of sparklers and novelty items are legal in New Jersey, many other fireworks remain prohibited. The department advises everyone to adhere to the fireworks packaging instructions strictly. Safety measures, such as maintaining a safe distance from others and ensuring a water source is readily available, are critical.

The Brick Township Police Department will closely monitor activities over the weekend to enforce these regulations. They have announced that all illegal fireworks will be confiscated, and individuals found violating the fireworks laws will face criminal charges.

Residents are encouraged to enjoy the holiday while honoring Memorial Day’s significance and remembering that safety is a shared responsibility within the community.
