Restrictions temporarily lift for fireworks through July 4: Aurora Fire Rescue
DENVER (KDVR) — Aurora Fire Rescue is temporarily lifting a fire restriction to permit the sale and use of fireworks that do not explode or leave the ground through Independence Day. Aurora Fire Rescue announced the decision to lift the city's standing Stage 1 Fire Restriction to allow fireworks within the city's ordinance, Colorado state restrictions. Don't call 911: Here's how to report illegal fireworks in Colorado The burn restriction is in place throughout the year, intending to prevent the start of structural or wildland fires. It will be lifted from June 15 to July 4 and certain types of fireworks will be allowed, conditions permitting. 'Aurora Fire Rescue determines the need for a fire ban based on current climate and weather conditions using a data-driven approach. Three nationally recognized metrics developed by researchers at the University of Colorado guide this decision. A fire ban is implemented only when all three fire risk metrics meet or exceed the designated thresholds,' explained Aurora Fire Chief Alec Oughton in the announcement. 'At this time, only one of the three metrics has reached that level. Based on a comprehensive evaluation of current conditions, a fire ban will not be enacted.' AFR said that the permissible and illegal fireworks in Aurora are similar to the kinds that are allowed or restricted statewide. In Colorado, fireworks that explode or leave the ground are illegal, unless they are part of a professional display presented by someone certified by the Division of Fire Prevention and Control. Some examples of illegal fireworks include Firecrackers Aerial devices, such as rockets and bottle rockets Roman candles Cherry bombs Mortars or similar items, such as M-80s Police caution against illegal fireworks The agency warns that persons must be 16 or older to possess, use or discharge fireworks, unless under the supervision of an adult 21 years and older. Aurora fireworks ordinance violations can come with a fine up to $2,650 and/or up to one year in jail and other fees. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Legendary '80s Rocker, 75, Stuns Fans With 'Smoking Hot' Shirtless Performance
Legendary '80s Rocker, 75, Stuns Fans With 'Smoking Hot' Shirtless Performance originally appeared on Parade. When we picture folks at age 75, we probably have an unfair stereotypical perception of how they'll look, act and move. Iconic musician and actor Rick Springfield will absolutely dismantle every preconceived notion you have about this age, and a fan's latest video can prove it. In the video, Springfield appears ageless in both appearance and sound, rocking out to the hit that catapulted him to fame in 1981 "Jessie's Girl." The star previously told Yahoo!Life last year he credits his ageless appearance to a rigorously healthy lifestyle. Cutting back on alcohol and working out every day are two key moves in his quest to remain youthful, along with a very healthy diet.'The hardest thing is looking in the mirror and going, 'Wow, that wasn't there when I was in my 30s…' and going, 'I look like my mom,'" he said of aging. 'So I never think of myself as a real 75.' Neither do his fans."Guys living his [third] life," commented one fan. "Saw him when he was 69. Looks just as good!" "Um, what is happening here? Where did he find the fountain of youth," asked another. The Australian musician and actor hit number one for two weeks in the U.S. on the Hot 100 singles chart after "Jessie's Girl" and received a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1981. While new music isn't confirmed to be on the horizon, Springfield is currently playing shows and making appearances. All in all, we bet "Jessie's Girl" has some major regrets. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Legendary '80s Rocker, 75, Stuns Fans With 'Smoking Hot' Shirtless Performance first appeared on Parade on Jun 9, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
