Submitted information:
Pretty much every time around the New Year’s holiday, we receive a lot of questions on fireworks usage in Cobb. 911 receives a lot of calls complaining of illegal use of fireworks.
Cobb County Code bans the use of fireworks from 9 p.m. to 10 a.m. with some exceptions including these for the New Year’s holiday:
- Dec. 31 (New Year’s Eve) – Fireworks may be discharged until 1 a.m.
- Jan. 1 (New Year’s Day) – Fireworks may be discharged until midnight.
Fireworks and other pyrotechnics are prohibited at ALL county parks. This includes historic sites, recreational areas or state property. It is illegal to use them within 100 yards of an electric plant, water or wastewater treatment plant, gas station, refinery, electric substation, jail, helipad, hospital, nursing home or other health care facility.
