text:  On July 4th, they're permitted from 10 a.m. until midnight. In Michigan, residents can use fireworks from 11 a.m. until 11.45 p.m. June 29th through July 4th on private property. Use on public property, including sidewalks, streets, schools, and churches, is illegal and could result in a $500 fine. The DNR reminds users to soak their used fireworks in water before throwing them out, have a bucket or a hose nearby, and always buy your fireworks from a licensed seller. Mike Wilson.
