As the July 4 holiday
approaches, the Santa Monica Fire Department would like to remind everyone that
ALL types of fireworks are illegal in the City of Santa Monica. This includes
so-called “safe and sane” fireworks, which may not be used in Santa Monica EVEN
IF they are legal in the city in which they are purchased. Possession of fireworks is considered a misdemeanor and
may be punishable up to $1,000.00 fine, and or 6 months in jail.
The public is urged to avoid
the use of consumer fireworks and instead, to enjoy displays of fireworks
conducted by trained professionals. For a local fireworks show, please join the
community at Santa
Monica College for Celebrate America on June 29, 2019.
