Just in time for the 4th of July celebrations, the City of Douglas Fire and Police Departments would like to encourage citizens to practice safety with fireworks and would like to make the public aware of a few facts about fireworks laws.

The State of Georgia allows for consumer fireworks to be sold statewide. A state license to sell fireworks can be issued to applicants after the applicant meets specific insurance and criminal background requirements and pays the state license fee.

Authorized fireworks include firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, Roman candles, sparklers, and other combustibles and explosives of like construction. Persons must be at least 18 years of age to purchase, possess, transport, ignite, or explode fireworks. Fireworks can be used during the hours of 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. However, on January 1, July 3 & 4th, and December 31, fireworks can be used during an extended time from 9 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.

It is illegal to use any fireworks indoors, and it is unlawful to ignite fireworks within or on a roadway, city/county property, or within 100 yards of a hospital or nursing home. For more information on state fireworks laws, click here.
