Put That Firework Down; It Might Not Be Legal in Wyandotte
The fireworks wild west is over in Wyandotte.
Before you go lighting off that new batch of fireworks you may want to read this article.
City Council members passed an ordinance Monday night restricting the use of fireworks in Wyandotte.
Use of consumer fireworks in Wyandotte is now only allowed on the day of, the day before and the day after a national holiday. Fireworks cannot be used from midnight to 8 a.m. on the above mentioned days except New Year's Day. Fireworks are prohibited from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. on New Year's Day.
This means the use of fireworks outside the designated times and dates would be a violation of the ordinance. The ordinance is in line with a new state law passed last week.
Here's a list of legal holidays, so you don't get jammed up:
- New Year's Day
- Martin Luther King
- President's Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Columbus Day
- Veterans Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
*A previous version of this article stated fireworks were prohibited the day of, the day before and the day after national holidays.
