ENTERPRISE,
The Enterprise Fire Department is reminding residents of the city’s longstanding fireworks ordinance after responding to multiple fire incidents during the New Year holiday that officials believe were linked to fireworks activity.
According to the City of Enterprise, firefighters were dispatched to several fires between Dec. 31, 2025, and Jan. 1, 2026, resulting in varying degrees of damage and requiring significant personnel and equipment resources.
“During the New Year holiday, we responded to multiple incidents within a short period of time that could have resulted in serious injury or major property loss,” Fire Chief Christopher Davis said.
Fireworks have been prohibited within Enterprise city limits since September 1999. The ordinance makes it illegal to discharge, ignite, or use fireworks and also bans the sale of fireworks within the city.
“The fireworks ordinance exists to reduce those risks, protect our residents, and help ensure our firefighters are available for true emergencies,” Davis said.
City officials noted that some neighboring jurisdictions may allow consumer fireworks. Residents are encouraged to review local regulations if celebrating outside the Enterprise city limits. Where fireworks are permitted, the Enterprise Fire Department urges individuals to use caution, remain aware of their surroundings, and avoid conditions that could easily ignite fires.
“Our priority is safeguarding lives and property,” Davis said. “Our department remains committed to protecting lives, property, and the safety of the community.”
