WARREN, Mich. (AP) — An ordinance in suburban Detroit challenges some parts of a state law making powerful fireworks legal in Michigan.

The Detroit News reports (http://bit.ly/KD3s9r ) officials on Tuesday night approved an emergency ordinance about when and where people may set off those fireworks. City Council members voted 5-1 to ban the use of fireworks recently legalized by the state within 30 feet of a residential building, garage or open flame.
