-[{{:public:170703Fireworks0009.jpg?250|}}]
-The South Haven Police Department and SHAES reminds all citizens of the Michigan law as it relates to fireworks during the upcoming July 4th holiday.
-The law allows citizens to use “consumer fireworks”. Examples of these are firecrackers, bottle rockets, and roman candles. We ask all citizens using these fireworks to use extreme caution due to high risks of injuries and potential for fires.
-In accordance with the City of South Haven ordinance, consumer fireworks are allowed only between 11 a.m. and 11:45 p.m. on June 29, June 30, July 1, July 2, July 3 and July 4.
-It is illegal for a person to discharge fireworks on public, school, church or private property without the permission of the owner. This includes all public parks and beaches of South Haven. The fines are a maximum penalty of $1,000.
-Citizens are asked to be considerate of others while celebrating the holiday. It is our hope that all citizens will enjoy a safe and happy July 4th.

 This is a request that we typically make in the dead of winter when the snow is piled high around the fire hydrants in the SHAES area. Please help us now if there is foliage concealing from the street a hydrant where you live. Time is of the essence when we arrive on a fire scene so being able to locate the fire hydrant quickly is of great help. Thank You.

The face shields provide full face protection when staff is helping COVID-19 patients.

The company made sure South Haven first responders (police, fire and EMS) were the first to get some and donated two boxes of 100 face shields to SHAES and to SHPD. Thank you to Do-It corporation for helping us.
