Woods said that while the county provides funding to the department, it falls short of what is needed for the entire year.
“The county does give us money but that money is nowhere near what we need to make it last throughout the whole year,” Woods said. “So with our fireworks sales, we usually can finish up what we need and we have donations that also help us out.”
The fireworks sale will run until July 4 at 3867 US 19 East in Elizabethton.
