Clermont is proposing a law to regulate the sale and use of consumer fireworks, acting under a newly passed state law that “greatly expanded” their sale and use. The new ordinance, discussed by the Town Council Tuesday night, would basically require those wanting to put on a pyrotechnic display in a public park to apply for a permit, citing time, location and other particulars. In mulling the application, the town council would then consider a variety of factors, including “the potential for fires or wildfires” and previous experience handling fireworks, the ordinance states.
