In this episode of Pyro Talk, host Jason Rude sits down with Tony Kilgore from the Northeast Ohio Pyrotechnics Group (NEOPG) to break down the latest — and extremely controversial — change to Ohio’s fireworks code. A new rule threatens to severely restrict access to 1.4G “Professional Use Only” fireworks, impacting hobbyists, professionals, and small display operators across the state.
Jason and Tony unpack what happened, why it matters, and how these changes could ripple through the pyrotechnics community. More importantly, they share what you can do right now to make your voice heard and protect the future of the craft.
If you care about the freedom to light up the sky — this is one episode you can’t afford to miss.
