CONWAY — With the Fourth of July holiday approaching this weekend, Conway Police Chief Christopher Mattei is reminding residents and visitors that while consumer fireworks are legal to possess in New Hampshire, they are illegal to set off within the town of Conway.

Under Conway's fireworks ordinance, adopted under state law, the display and sale of consumer fireworks are prohibited within town limits. State law allows municipalities to decide whether to permit or prohibit fireworks, and Conway has chosen to prohibit them.
