The Sioux City Council voted unanimously to amend Sioux City’s fireworks ordinance Monday.
The council shortened the time residents may set off fireworks July 3rd and 4th from 1:00 P.M. until 11:00 P.M; and from December 31 from 1:00 P.M. until 12:30 A.M. on January 1st.
Councilman Alex Watters thinks shortening the time to shoot off firecrackers is a good compromise.
Fireworks were previously allowed over the summer for ten days around the 4th of July and for a few days in celebration of the new year.
