What are Ohio's fireworks laws during the Fourth of July?
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Ohio has several state laws about firework use. Before the Fourth of July weekend, it's important to know what is legal, and what isn't. While fireworks are not typically allowed, Ohioans are legally allowed to light fireworks on specially designated holidays. To celebrate the Fourth of July, fireworks are allowed July 3-5 from 4 to 11 p.m. each night. LIST: Independence Day events around Dayton 2025 This is a recent change to Ohio law that began in 2022, allowing for 1.4G consumer-grade fireworks on specific holidays. State law says fireworks can be set off on personal property, but local cities, townships and counties can establish their own fireworks ordinances. You should check with local law enforcement ahead of the holiday. You must be 18 or older to handle fireworks, and Ohio law states you must be within 150 feet of the discharge point. Fire officials remind you to keep a fire extinguisher nearby and handle all fireworks and equipment with extreme caution. You should never use fireworks while impaired by drugs or alcohol. The Ohio State Fire Marshal reports over 135 fireworks-related incidents occurred in 2024, with over 30 of those resulting in structure fires that cost over $760,000 in damages. Fire officials also recommend protective eyewear and ensuring no flammable material is worn near the fireworks. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Warner Robins woman charged with defrauding Georgia Medicaid program for more than $5.4 million
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr's Office announced Monday that a 62-year-old woman from Warner Robins was charged with defrauding the state's Medicaid program more than $5.4 million. The Attorney General's Office said Elizabeth Sue Ivester is accused of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, health care fraud and aggravated identity theft. Officials said Ivester charged Medicaid for millions of dollars for durable medical equipment that was neither ordered nor supplied to Medicaid recipients. In the indictment, the AG's office said Ivester, who owns and operates Liberty Medical, Inc., 'unlawfully used Medicaid recipients' identification numbers to submit fraudulent claims by falsely representing that one physician ordered 77,095 pieces of DME that were not ordered,' nor were they delivered to any patients.

'The scale of today's takedown is unprecedented, and so is the harm we're confronting. Individuals who attempt to steal from the federal health care system and put vulnerable patients at risk will be held accountable,' HHS-OIG Acting Inspector General Juliet T. Hodgkins said. Ivester was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 14 and was arraigned on June 17, according to state officials. Carr's office said the indictment was part of the National Health Care Fraud Takedown initiative and was also part of the state's own Medicaid Fraud and Patient Protection Division's work in Georgia. 'Prosecuting Medicaid fraud is a top priority for our office, and we're proud to work with our federal partners in this effort,' Carr said. 'Defrauding Medicaid is the same as stealing taxpayer dollars, and we will hold violators accountable.' [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
