PUEBLO COUNTY, COLO. -- A burn ban, a ban on personal fireworks and a plethora of wildfires couldn't stop one Pueblo County business from selling fireworks leading up to the Fourth of July.
One day before the big holiday, deputies finally did.
Pueblo County Sheriff's deputies closed Big Top Fireworks on Santa Fe Drive in Pueblo Tuesday after learning the store was selling illegal fireworks.
The District Attorney's Office has not filed charges but is conducting an investigation.
Sheriff Kirk Taylor ordered a stage II fire ban June 25, and Gov. John Hickenlooper banned the use of all personal fireworks this holiday because of extreme fire danger throughout the state.
The two most destructive wildfires in Colorado history, the Waldo Canyon Fire and the High Park Fire, both occurred this summer and are still burning.
