On the Great Falls ballot: fireworks

GREAT FALLS — In the November municipal election, city residents will decide whether to limit the types of fireworks that can be sold and used within city limits.

The ballot question asks if the city should allow only ground-based or novelty items such as sparklers, fountains, and snap caps, while banning fireworks that leave the ground or explode, including rockets, shells, and Roman candles.

If voters approve the measure, the changes would apply only to stands operating within city limits. Fireworks stands located in county areas, even if they’re within the city’s boundary lines, would not be affected.
