• Fireworks sales ramp up across Columbia as New Year's Eve approaches (wltx.com) — If you’re planning New Year’s fireworks in Lexington County, remember the county noise ordinance cuts off fireworks at 12:30 a.m., with fines up to $150 for violations. Columbia-area fire officials are also warning about common burn injuries and urging families to choose safer, lower-noise options, especially for kids, pets, and neighbors sensitive to loud sounds.
