I'm all for celebrating freedom, but show some consideration.  Took 10 minutes to calm down my dog. 

I let the dogs outside when I got home from work yesterday.  The guy adjacent to my house in another neighborhood lit off something and it exploded in his yard.  His 3 yr old boy went running into the house crying.  He was walking around the yard mumbling OMG, holy shit, etc.

^^^funny response. I feel they should have mentioned the noise ordinance begins at 10pm, since they bring up that it ends at 7am.

Who Can Buy Consumer Fireworks in Georgia?

In Georgia, you must be 18 years or older to purchase fireworks. There is not an exact age for igniting them, but Georgia.gov reminds residents to remember that most injuries happen to kids under 16.

It is illegal to light fireworks under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

When Can You Light Fireworks in Georgia?

While technically you can ignite fireworks all year, they were really meant for the holidays. In particular, July 4 and New Year's. On those days, the hours are extended:

New Years: until 1 a.m.
Fourth of July: until midnight
Any other day: Not after 9 p.m.

Where Can You Light Fireworks in Georgia?

It depends on where you live. Some private communities, including HOAs, condos or apartment complexes, may prohibit fireworks, while others may set aside a spot to ignite them. Bottom line: check your communities laws and bylines to be sure.

There are some places where fireworks are banned, including on roads and highways.

It is illegal to light fireworks within 100 yards of a:

Hospital
Nursing home
Prison
Nuclear power plant
Gas station or refinery
Fireworks are strictly prohibited in state parks, according the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, State Parks and Historic Sites. They are also banned in other public parks except for those with a special license.

Keep in mind that while they may be legal, consumer fireworks are considered hazardous materials (hazmat) division 1.4G explosives. Be mindful of the laws when purchasing and lighting them off to ensure the safety of everyone.

Fireworks Facts (from Georgia.gov)

A 5% sales tax on fireworks sold in Georgia goes toward the state’s trauma care network, training and equipment for Georgia firefighters.

The younger you are, the more likely you will be injured by fireworks. The risk of injury from fireworks is highest for the 0-4 age group, followed by children 10-14 years old.

Sparklers are deceivingly benign. They can actually burn as hot as 2,000° F and account for 79% of injuries to children under 5 years old.

China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world — supplying 90% of all fireworks.

Safety first:

DeKalb County Fire Captain Eric Jackson said those who choose to light fireworks should take these precautions:

- Light them on level concrete

- Wear safety clothing. That means be fully clothed, with no loose or hanging clothes that could catch fire.

- Wear eye protection

Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens offers these additional tips:

Always read and follow label directions
Only use fireworks outdoors
Never experiment or attempt to make your own fireworks
Only light one firework at a time
Never re-ignite malfunctioning fireworks
Fireworks should only be used with close adult supervision
Never give fireworks to small children
Be sure to have water handy
Never throw fireworks at another person
Remember to call your local 911 for emergencies
