Perryville fireworks display postponed | Community Spirit

PERRYVILLE, MO (KFVS) - The Perryville Rotary and the Perryville Fire Department has discussed the scheduled Fourth of July fireworks show extensively and announced they will postpone the show for another day.

At the moment, they say that day is undetermined. They say they came to the decision because Perry County, and multiple counties surrounding them, have issued burn bans and several other cities have postponed their shows. 

According to the fire department, the fire danger scale currently lists them at “extreme” which is the highest threat for fires. Unfortunately, they say it is just too dangerous. The fire department and rotary says this was a difficult decision and are starting a public awareness campaign now.
