The Clark County Council appears set to overturn a controversial fireworks ordinance passed just over a month ago.
The council will hold a public hearing Feb. 2 to consider repealing the ordinance that banned all but Class C fireworks. Commonly known as “safe and sane” fireworks, they’re defined as those that travel no more than 1 foot into the air or no more than 6 feet on the ground.
