DENVER (KDVR) -- Fireworks lit up the Friday night sky as communities gathered for several fireworks shows across the Denver metro area.

Cameras in the city captured views of the colorful bursts in the air along the Denver skyline.

The fireworks show at Coors Field drew thousands of fans to the Colorado Rockies game against the Chicago White Sox, after which they were able to take over the field for a spectacular display of explosions of color overhead.

A view of the fireworks at Coors Field also gave a glimpse of several smaller, likely illegal fireworks going off in the distance.

FOX31's Hanna Powers got a live look at a fireworks display from the top of a roof in Cherry Creek as well.

Fireworks that leave the ground or explode are illegal in Colorado, except with proper permissions and certifications for professional displays. Despite this, agencies across the state are expecting a high volume of calls reporting fireworks.

Dispatchers ask that concerned residents avoid calling 911 to report fireworks, unless there is a serious emergency, injury or risk, as it can clog phone lines for urgent emergencies. Those concerned about fireworks in their area can see FOX31's guide for how to report illegal fireworks across the Denver metro.

Be sure to soak used fireworks, including sparklers, in water to reduce the risk of fire.
