Massachusetts Reminds Folks to Leave the Fireworks to the Professionals

One activity folks should steer clear of is setting off fireworks. It's illegal to set off fireworks on private property, and if caught, heavy fines could ensue. This also goes for if you possess or sell/attempt to sell fireworks in Massachusetts. Fines range anywhere from $100 to $1,000, and imprisonment is also a possibility. That's definitely not a fun time for anyone. Mass.gov reminds folks to leave the fireworks to the professionals.
