LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nye County officials are threatening citations and arrests for illegal fireworks that led to some fires across metro Las Vegas.

The county Sheriff’s Office made an online plea Saturday night for people to stop using aerial fireworks.

Pahrump Valley firefighters had to respond to calls about fires at homes and desert brush areas.

Sheriff’s officials say deputies will be searching and citing or arresting anyone found launching aerial fireworks.

Reporting agencies showed fire calls for Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson and Clark County.
