Summer has arrived, which means warm weather, grilling out and a chorus of fireworks crackling in your neighborhood.

Legislation signed by Gov. Mike DeWine last year revamped the state's fireworks law after a years-long push by the industry to legalize them. Ohio previously allowed consumers to use only sparklers and a handful of other pyrotechnics, and anything else had to be taken out of state within 48 hours of purchase.

Summer in Ohio:Your ultimate Ohio summer bucket list is right here ☀️

The new rules go into effect July 1, just in time for Ohioans to start celebrating the Fourth of July. 

Here's what you need to know.

Legal firework use in Ohio is cleared for the following days:

You can only set off fireworks on your own property or another private property with the owner's permission.

The law allows municipalities and townships to opt out or restrict dates and times, so be sure to double-check the policies in your community. Columbus, Worthington and Dayton are among the cities that have enacted their own ordinances.

The rules apply to 1.4G consumer-grade fireworks – think Roman candles, firecrackers, bottle rockets and sparklers. It's still illegal for people to purchase display-grade fireworks unless they have the proper license.

You can't light up your yard while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and anyone found guilty will be convicted of a first-degree misdemeanor. You could face a disorderly conduct violation, as well.

It's also illegal to ignite fireworks on another person's property without their permission. 

Safety advocates emphasize that there's no risk-free way to use fireworks. Case in point: Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Matiss Kivlenieks died last year after being struck in the chest by a fireworks mortar shell while attending a wedding.

Under Ohio's new law, licensed retailers and wholesalers must offer safety glasses to customers for free or at a nominal charge. They're also required to provide a pamphlet outlining these safety recommendations:

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission further instructs people to light one firework at a time, never throw them at anyone and never carry them in pockets. Consumers should also avoid buying products in a brown paper bag, as they are likely for professional displays and not personal use.
