Every town has different rules. Those who violate the fireworks rules could also face a fine.Here’s a quick guide on the rules for fireworks in different areas of Warren County.Unincorporated — There are no fireworks restrictions for people in unincorporated Warren County.Warrenton — July 3 and 4, noon to 11 p.m.Wright City — Fireworks are limited to July 1-4, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day.
