After some debate and compromise, the Mobile City Council on Tuesday approved new restrictions on the use of fireworks.
The 5-0 vote bans commercial-grade fireworks for most of the year, with four exceptions – July 3 and 4, and New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
“We have enjoyed the freedom to celebrate our country’s independence for centuries now, and I don’t want to take that away from people,” he said after the meeting. “I think we should continue to allow that to happen. And rolling over New Year’s, starting a new beginning, everybody likes to go out and shoot fireworks. And the government shouldn’t control everyone on everything.”
City Councilman Joel Daves said he would have preferred for Mobile to adopt the same approach as Alabama’s other big cities, which prohibit fireworks, altogether. But he voted for the compromise.
