Milwaukee Police get over 500 calls for fireworks July 4th

Milwaukee Police tell CBS 58 they responded to at least 500 complaint calls for fireworks on July 4. As of the morning on July 5 all of the citations have not been answered.

In Milwaukee all fireworks are illegal, not just those that leave the ground. Anything that emits smoke, a bang or a sparkle could cost you up to $1,000 in fines. A similar ban is in place in Waukesha.
