Laws

fireworks on prohibited days or times were
$500.
Each violation will now result in a civil
infraction with a fine of $1,000
“With Independence Day around the cor-
ner, we would like to remind residents of the
recent change to the fireworks ordinance,”
commented Wild, “It is our hope that resi-
dents will continue to appreciate the splen-
dor that fireworks provide while being safe
and considerate of their neighbors”
Canton Township, too, has a detailed
ordinance regarding fireworks, which can
be used the day of, or the day after a nation-
al holiday between 8 a.m. and midnight only.
There is a $500 fine for not following the
ordinance which include prohibitions as to
the locations fireworks can be ignited. The
ordinance prohibits the ignition or dis-
charge of fireworks within 70 feet of any
building, or on any public street during the
times detailed in the state ordinance. In
Canton, any pyrotechnic devices designed
for professional use (which may be similar
to consumer fireworks, but are larger) and
display fireworks (large fireworks devices
that are explosive materials intended for
use in fireworks displays and designed to
produce visible or audible effect) require a
permit from the township.
Northville Township also has a local fire-
works ordinance which, like Canton, allows
fireworks only the day before, the day of or
the day after a major holiday between 8 a.m.
and midnight while the City of Northville
recently adopted a change to the local ordi-
nance which reduces the number of days
and limits the times that fireworks can be
set off by individuals around major holidays.
The ordinance allows fireworks to be set off
only from 11 a.m. until 11:45 p.m. from June
29 to July 4 and from 11 a.m. until 11:45 p.m.
on Friday, July 5. Fines for violations have
been increased to $1,000.
Law enforcement officials find summer
use of fireworks a challenge, too.
The local ordinance in the City of
Belleville is more inclusive, allowing fire-
works in the city between midnight and 8
a.m. the day of, before and after a national
holiday. The more restrictive state laws,
however, could still be imposed in the com-
munity.
The City of Romulus ordinance code for
fireworks is in accordance with the state
laws.
State Fire Marshal Kevin Sehlmeyer said
fireworks are explosives and their misuse
can result in irreparable injury or death.
“Potential for carbon monoxide poison-
ing and accidents is a concern in a lot of
summer activities, including fireworks,
camping and backyard grilling,” said
Sehlmeyer. “Remember to keep the kids
away from the fireworks, and always keep a
fire extinguisher or bucket of water handy
when lighting fireworks.”
