TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — As you get ready to celebrate Independence Day, the Tucson Police Department has some advice on what fireworks and other items you can use.

In a Facebook post, TPD says fireworks that launch into the air or explode are illegal to buy and use within Tucson city limits.

These fireworks include mortars, bottle rockets, M-80s, and firecrackers.
