SAN ANGELO, TX — A Shots fired call that ended up being illegal fireworks startled neighbors in East San Angelo Thursday night.
According to police communications, on Dec. 30, officers with the San Angelo Police Department were dispatched to the 700 block of Parsons Street for the report of shots fired.
When the officers arrived they discovered that instead of gunfire, the individuals on site were setting off fireworks to celebrate the end of 2021.
Although this may seem like a fun activity, it is still illegal to set off fireworks inside the city limits of San Angelo.
If you are setting off fireworks outside the city limits then remember Tom Green County is currently in a burn ban. This doesn’t mean you cannot use fireworks but be extremely cautious as dry weather conditions could start a wildfire.
Is it not known at this time if anyone was cited for the illegal use of fireworks but the San Angelo Police Department would like to reiterate the fact that fireworks are illegal in the city limits.
