Except as otherwise provided in division (B), any property owner or person in control of property who allows a person to sell, use, discharge, or possess fireworks, or provide fireworks to a minor, on the property owned by such person or under such person’s control shall be in violation of this section, regardless of such person’s intent, knowledge or negligence, such violation being hereby expressly declared a strict liability offense.
(B) Exception for permitted shows. The sale, use, discharge, and possession of fireworks is not prohibited provided that the fireworks are sold, used, discharged, and/or possessed in compliance with a fireworks show permit that has been issued by the city’s Fire Marshal and/or State Fire Marshal, and provided that that every person selling, using, discharging and/or possessing the fireworks maintains any license that may be required by the State Fire Marshal for such sale, use, discharge and/or possession of fireworks.
