The City of Las Cruces unanimously approved a ban on some fireworks as the Fourth of July holiday approached. The ban is intended to reduce the risk of fires as hot, dry conditions loom and will be in effect from June 7 through July 6. The types of fireworks that were banned included missile-type rockets, helicopters, aerial spinners, stick-type rockets and ground audible devices such as chasers and firecrackers.
Doña Ana County already enacted a similar ban for the unincorporated part of the county.
