Be cautious, and please consider your neighbors and pets |

Fireworks are normally illegal in Florida if they explode like a firecracker, or if they shoot into the air like a bottle rocket, however, Florida law does allow those fireworks on the following three holidays ONLY:
- New Year’s Eve
- New Year’s Day
- Independence Day (July 4th)
The Village respects the law and will comply with its requirements in every aspect, but it is important for residents to be reminded of the dangerous nature of fireworks. Accordingly, the Village Police and Fire Departments urge anyone using fireworks to be extra cautious and to follow safety guidelines, especially about not letting children use these types of fireworks.

Cyber criminals have been sending phony emails that appear to be from VILLAGE employees, but they ARE NOT. It's a forgery and an attempt to gain access to your computer! Don't click any links after you open it, but look VERY closely at the sender's address. If it's from Village staff, it will end with @ village-npb .org (but with no spaces). If not, just delete the email and call us if you are unsure. |
