As New Year’s Eve approaches, the City of Lander reminds residents to celebrate responsibly by adhering to safety guidelines and regulations.
Fireworks Regulations
To ensure a safe and enjoyable New Year’s Eve for everyone, fireworks are permitted within Lander city limits only from 4:30 PM on December 31 to 12:30 AM on January 1. Residents are asked to clean up all fireworks debris.
Fireworks are prohibited in the following areas:
-Main Street
-City-owned properties, including the rodeo grounds, airport parking lot, City Park, other parks, Lander Golf Course, cemetery, and any other city-owned land.
-The area east of the Fremont County Detention Center between Amoretti and Poor Farm Road. -School district parking lots or properties
Road Conditions
After recent snowfall, icy roads and intersections remain a concern. The City of Lander crews are actively sanding major intersections, but travelers should still exercise extreme caution. Slow down, maintain safe following distances, and be prepared for slick conditions.
Fremont County DUI Task Force
The Fremont County DUI Task Force will be on patrol throughout the holiday season, focusing on impaired driving. Do not drive under the influence—it is never safe or acceptable to drink and drive. If you see a suspected impaired driver, report it immediately by contacting Fremont County law enforcement or dialing 911.
Celebrate Responsibly
Let’s ring in the New Year safely and responsibly. Thank you for your cooperation in making Lander a safe place for everyone this holiday season.
