Fireworks only legal at approved events

An Independence Day celebration can be ruined if fireworks are used illegally.

CAL FIRE reminds everyone that all fireworks are illegal throughout San Diego County. Their use, transportation or possession can result in a fine or jail time.

CAL FIRE also reminds everyone that a person causing a fire with fireworks would be responsible for the damages.

Fireworks last only a few seconds but the injuries they cause can last a lifetime. Don’t celebrate the Fourth of July in the hospital. Enjoy a fireworks show presented with the approval of fire officials. Be fire safe, not sorry.
