CEDAR RAPIDS — Consumer fireworks can fly in Cedar Rapids beginning next Thursday after elected officials declined to heed the advice of public safety officials and continue a ban. The City Council voted 5-2 during a special meeting on Friday to allow firework use in accordance with the new state law, which establishes windows around Fourth of July and New Years when people can explode the colorful, noisy displays.
