A single fireworks show gets its own federal safety zone on the Erie Canal

The Coast Guard will enforce a temporary safety zone for a New Year's Eve fireworks display in North Tonawanda, New York. This means no vessels or people can enter a specific area of the Erie Canal without permission during the event.

This document is a routine, hyper-local safety measure. It shows how federal agencies manage small, temporary risks on navigable waterways. The Coast Guard regularly issues these types of rules for events ranging from fireworks to boat races, ensuring public safety by restricting access to specific areas.
