From MSNBC.MSN.com:
Lexington, KY – Lexington fire department officials say despite some scatttered rainfall in the area Tuesday, the fireworks ban will remain in place.
Battalion Chief Ed Davis released a statement late Tuesday night.
“Due to rainfall earlier today, the Lexington Fire Department has received numerous calls from citizens asking if the fireworks ban has been lifted for Fayette County. After receiving reports that large areas across the county received little or no precipitation at all, the ban will remain in effect until further notice. The LFD will continue to monitor the situation daily, and when conditions are once again favorable the ban will be lifted. Citizens are reminded that while some may view the ban as a hardship, city officials feel that the risk of fires far outweighs the entertainment value of using fireworks.”
