DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Just in time for the Fourth of July, Ohio's new fireworks law goes into effect Friday. However, not all local governments in the Miami Valley will allow people to shoot off fireworks this weekend. The Dayton Police Department responds to a lot of fireworks calls around holidays like the Fourth of July. 'Fireworks are kind of ubiquitous on certain holidays,' Major Jason Hall said. 'We do respond to a lot of calls. Some of the call information, if you look back as recently as 2020, our call volume went through the roof of fireworks, an increase of over 1000%.
