NYE 2016 is coming at us fast! If your family is opting to watch fireworks from a distance, at home or in the neighborhood please be careful.
Safety first! Fireworks in the neighborhood are awesome but also very dangerous.
- Please light one firework at a time.
- Do not re-light “duds.”
- Children should not help pickup, discard or light fireworks.
- Do not carry fireworks on your person or light them in your hand.
- Point fireworks away from homes, cars, people and flammable substances
- Do not make your own fireworks.
- Soak fireworks in water before discarding.
DeKalb and Brookhaven have similar rules regarding fireworks. According to ACJ.com:
“These are the basics of the Georgia fireworks law, so these are the times you can light up the sky across DeKalb County:
- On Jan. 1, July 3, July 4 and Dec. 31, fireworks are allowed from 10 a.m. until 11:59 p.m.
- Fireworks can also be shot off between midnight and 1 a.m. on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1.
- On every other day throughout the year, fireworks are allowed from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m.
But, if you live within the city limits of Brookhaven:
- Holiday times do not change.
- Fireworks are allowed until midnight Saturday, July 2, 2016.
- On every other day throughout the year, you can celebrate later! Fireworks are allowed from 10 a.m. until 10:30 p.m.”
Our Chamblee crew wishes you and yours a fun-filled New Years! See y’all in 2017.
