Below is a list FOX 2 has compiled, but check back for updates as more cities, townships or villages weigh in.

Fireworks bans might be coming to a community near you, thanks to a historically dry month of June in SE Michigan.

The temporary bans have been brought on by "extreme" fire danger ratings from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

Communities around metro Detroit have been issuing the temporary bans over the past few days, including:

Allen Park - ban on all open burning and the use of consumer grade fireworks

Armada Township - ban on all fireworks.
