PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — The Pueblo Fire Department wants to make sure you’re safe after lighting up fireworks.
The department has brought back the Bucket Brigade program. People can pick up free buckets from fire stations around Pueblo.
That way, the buckets are close by and filled with water so that those fireworks can cool down after they are used.
"That is a safety issue we have seen in the past, and it is something the Bucket Brigade is to help elevate," says Pueblo firefighter Tim Trujillo.
The buckets are free, but they have a limited amount.
Pueblo Fire says fireworks in the city of Pueblo are legal, as long as you buy them from a licensed fireworks dealer in the city.
First reading of funding for the Leonardo da Vinci museum approved
Pueblo City Council approved the first reading 7-0 Monday on whether to give the Leonardo da Vinci Museum $885,000 in taxpayer money, a request that has drawn scrutiny from community members.
