4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS
With the 4th of July approaching, the Woodward Township Police Department would ask that, if you decide to use fireworks, to do so safely and take into consideration your neighbors, their children, family pets and the time of day when setting off the fireworks.
While certain fireworks are now legal in Pennsylvania, it is important for everyone to understand what fireworks are now legal and those that are not.
The law governing the sale, purchase and use of "Consumer Fireworks" (Class C) was changed in 2017. The law requires that all persons who use "Consumer Fireworks" shall follow all rules and regulations outlined in Section 2404 Use of Consumer Fireworks as well as the following conditions:
-
Persons who are at least 18 years of age and meet the requirements of this article may purchase, possess and use consumer fireworks.
-
Fireworks cannot be ignited or discharged on a public or private property without express permission of the property owner.
-
Fireworks cannot be discharged from or within a motor vehicle or building.
-
Fireworks cannot be discharged toward a motor vehicle or building.
-
Fireworks cannot be discharged within 150 feet of an occupied structure.
-
Fireworks cannot be discharged while the person is under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance or another drug.
The officers of the Woodward Township Police Department wish everyone a SAFE and enjoyable holiday.
