Fireworks question (Wellington, Dania Beach: legal, stores, drivers license)

[Sharkey514]

Where are the best shows in Broward or PB? Also, what's the deal with Firework's here? I thought that only sparklers and fire-crackers were legal here. But, at the big box stores, I see there are products labeled Fireworks. Also, I saw a Fireworks stand near Wellington. Is FLorida like Pennsylvania?

I'm pretty sure Florida doesn't allow airborne personal fireworks (bottle rockets etc), as a fire hazard. At least that's how it is up in Volusia county for sure.

Go out to sunrise, you see per couple block firework battles to see how has the best airborne fireworks. They look almost as good as if the city itself had done it. We were out there last year, neck got tired looking back and forth from all the fireworks going off.

Hahahahahahahah! funny... TNT neptunes on dania bch blvd east of federal sells anything you could ever want... july 4th and newyears certain neigborhoods including mine have more stuff than the city displays. the "nicer" areas some one might call the cops... I guess the cops will take your stuff if they see you lighting roman candles etc. But we shoot of mortar shells 500 grm arials bottle rockets you name it. Check out neptunes if you want the real stuff.

Fireworks Enforcement Guide

Yes...the big fireworks store will sell you the "illegal" heavy duty exploding, flying stuff without questions. They take a copy of your drivers license and make you sign some silly hold harmless forms and then you are off down firework supermarket lane ! Cops do not enforce the "sparklers only" rule...at least for the past 10 years they haven't. You can get whatever you want and whenever you want since most of these large stores are open year round. You will NOT find these things at the typical street side stands though....only the big boy stores such as the one in Dania Beach > Dania Beach, FL - TNT Supercenters - TNTFireworks.com (http://www.tntfireworks.com/supercenter.php?l=6 - broken link)

There are fireworks stores everywhere. I think you have to sign a form saying the fireworks are for crop protection or something.
