While
you may be sorely tempted to shoot fireworks over the 4th of July
holiday, we do need to let you know that the good fireworks are
actually illegal in Florida.
Illegal
fireworks include shells and mortars, multiple tube devices, Roman
candles, rockets and firecrackers.
Basically
any firework that flies is illegal in the sunshine state though the
state does allow various types of sparklers.
Using
fireworks is a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to one year
in jail and a $1,000 fine.
There
will be at least four professional fireworks shows in the area this
4th of July holiday.
Wednesday
evening there will be fireworks in Apalachicola over the river as a
part of the Apalachicola Independence Eve Celebration.
On
Thursday night there will be fireworks shows at the St. George Island
public beach and at the Myron Hodge Park in Sopchoppy.
And
on Friday there will be a fireworks show over the Carrabelle river.
All
of the shows will start just after dark.
