The City of Boerne has canceled its fireworks show scheduled for tonight due to ongoing emergency operations in neighboring communities and the threat of more rain.

The decision was influenced by several factors, including limited local resources as members of the Boerne Fire Department and Boerne Police Department continue to support neighboring areas during emergency response efforts.
