Off the news: Almost time to (legally) pop firecrackers

Oahu residents planning to set off firecrackers on New Year’s Eve hopefully planned ahead, because permit applications to buy the items closed on Dec. 21. That oddly early deadline differs from other counties including the Big Island, where permits are available up to midnight New Year’s Eve, and Kauai, which sells permits through Dec. 31.
