News – Sheridan Media
The Sheridan Board of County Commissioners would like to remind folks that during this New Year’s holiday the use of fireworks is limited to 6:01 a.m. Dec. 31, until 2 a.m. on Jan. 1, except for permitted Supervised Public Displays.
Sheridan County would like to remind residents that fireworks are not permitted on County land, its roads and easements, or within 50 ft. of any occupied structure without permission of the owner. Residents are asked to please be mindful of neighbors, livestock, pets, and wildlife when properly using fireworks.
If residents plan to have a bonfire to celebrate the new year, please follow the county’s posted advice and prior to any planned burning, please: notify the Dispatch Center at 307-672-2413 to prevent the fire department from showing up uninvited; check the weather forecast for warnings and if increased winds or dry conditions are predicted, avoid burning prior and during that time; have fire tools, water, and a phone readily available; do not delay calling for help if the burn gets out of hand. The county is reminding residents that early response can minimize control efforts and potential damage; and please do not leave fires unattended.
For more information go to the bottom of the county’s Fire Protection Districts’ webpage, found here.
Sheridan County would like to wish residents a safe and happy New Year celebration.
