Cities in Warren County have specific dates and times to allow the detonation of fireworks around the Fourth of July holiday, but those rules vary significantly depending on where you live. Here's a quick guide:If you live within the city of Warrenton, your time is limited.

Truesdale has a broader window for home pyrotechnics. Fireworks are allowed from July 1 to July 10, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. However, city ordinance specifically bans shooting fireworks from or toward any motor vehicle.And because Warrenton and Truesdale are so close together, residents are warned to be very aware of what city they are in before lighting a fuse.Unincorporated Warren County doesn't have any restriction on when fireworks can be discharged — "As long as they're legal fireworks," one deputy said.Fireworks
