Barrington Police Remind Residents of Illegal Fireworks

The Barrington Police Department is reminding residents that some fireworks are illegal in Rhode Island.

While some fireworks are legal, many, including M-80s, block busters, bottle rockets, roman candles, mortars and “any other devices that launch a projectile and or make a loud “bang” or detonation/report are not legal,” the police department said in a release.

Cone displays that shoot sparks up to 7 feet into the air are legal.

Both legal or illegal fireworks are prohibited from being discharged on all Town properties such as Allin’s Cove, Latham Park, the Barrington Town Beach, school fields or playgrounds.

“ Extra patrols will be out this weekend, so please have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July holiday,” said Barrington Police Chief John M. LaCross.
