Getting ready for New Year’s fireworks

Brendan Cornell, left, and Matt Wren set up a cash register Tuesday at the Discount Fireworks stand, which just opened for the New Year’s fireworks season in a field off Jantz Road near West Maple Street in Burbank.

State law allows for fireworks to be sold and fired off to celebrate the new year. However, Kennewick, Prosser and Franklin County outright ban them.

West Richland and Walla Walla County have stricter rules than the state, limiting the window of possession and use from 6 p.m. Dec. 31 to 1 a.m. Jan. 1.
