The annual Thunder on the Mountain fireworks show will be visible from anywhere with a view of Vulcan.
As you prepare to ring in the New Year, make sure your plans don’t include pyrotechnics. The city of Homewood’s ordinances prohibit the use of fireworks within city limits.
Homewood’s fire protection code bans ownership, use, manufacture or sale of any type of fireworks, firecrackers or rockets. Only sparklers are exempt from the ordinance.
The fire chief, John Bresnan, can choose to issue exemptions for individual businesses or events, but the ordinance is otherwise enforced even on holidays such as New Year’s and Independence Day.
