Celebrate with a boom...safely
By Erin Gardner
CELINA-Under a new state fireworks law, Ohioans can legally set off certain consumer fireworks.
However, they must leave the big boomers, rockets and shells to the professionals.
Ohioans can discharge consumer 1.4G fireworks from 4-11 p.m. Sunday through Monday, according to the law. Allowable fireworks include bottle rockets, firecrackers and Roman candles. It is still illegal in Ohio to purchase display-grade fireworks without a license. [More]
