Councilman Dave Beckering, 7Th Ward, sponsored a bill to amend the current firework law. Under the proposed bill fireworks would be limited to sparklers and non-reporting, non-exploding fountains only on private property during 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. The city's current ordinances allow anyone older than 16 to fire off a host of pyrotechnics within the city limit, including "firecrackers, fireworks, torpedoes, bombs, rockets, pinwheels, fire balloons, Roman candles, toy cannons, toy pistols" and others.The proposed change keeps the 16-year age limit for those allowed to light fireworks, and prohibits anyone from lighting any fireworks on city land without a permit from the mayor. I believe if this bill is passed, it still want stop people from buying and lighting fireworks in and around the St. Louis/St. Charles area.
