OHIO FIREWORKS LAWSThe Western Reserve Joint Fire District encourages you to enjoy and celebrate our Nation's Independence Day. However, we are also tasked with enforcement of Ohio's firework's laws. Sparklers, trick noisemakers & novelties are the only fireworks that are legal to possess and discharge within the State of Ohio. The possession and/or discharge of all other fireworks is illegal in the State of Ohio. Fireworks may be sold to Ohio residents upon execution of a form agreeing to take the items out to the state within 48 hours, or to out-of state residents upon execution of a form agreeing to take the items out the state within 72 hours. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: there is no provision in this law for the discharge of fireworks within the State of Ohio. In other words - It's legal to buy it, but don't light it! Fireworks can be confiscated and the property owner charged under the law if they are discharged anywhere within the state. You can also be charged under the law if you are in possession of fireworks outside of the 48 hours (72 hours for non-residents) limitation or can not provide the form that you signed that shows the date and time of purchase. We are always happy to answer questions about Ohio's fireworks laws. Please feel free to contact our business office during regular business hours. |
HOTEL FIRE SAFETYAs soon as you check in, take time to identify exits, stairwells and escape routes. Count the number of doorways between your room and the nearest exit. Notice which side of the hall the exit is on and whether an ice machine or other objects block the way. |
