NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — With Independence Day around the corner, you may be feeling the urge to light up a sparkler or set of a Roman candle or two. But before you set fire to any firecrackers, you need to make sure you're actually allowed to do so.

Different areas of Middle Tennessee have different ordinances regulating the purchase and use of fireworks.

For instance, Metro Nashville-Davidson County has prohibited the sale or use of fireworks within the county. Only professional fireworks displays with permits from the Nashville Fire Marshal are permitted, like the Let Freedom Sing! event happening Friday night in downtown Nashville.

Crews have already begun setting up for one of the nation's largest fireworks shows, which will feature new aerial shots, new low-level effects, and new shells that will be fired into the Cumberland River, according to the pyrotechnics provider, Pyro Shows.

Here are the fireworks use regulations we found in Middle Tennessee.
