Ely fireworks plans dampened
Monday, Dec. 20, 1999 | 2:58 a.m.
Ely Mayor Bob Miller said he received a letter that states the Great Basin Service Club's pyrotechnician does not meet state requirements to put on such a display.
Susan Riolo, a program assistant for the state fire marshall, said officials are concerned about the fallout area.
"To put a show like that on in downtown would be unsafe. Not only in Ely, but anywhere," she told the Ely Daily Times.
Club officials said they are considering alternative sites for the fireworks, including Squaw Peak.
