With the sale of “Safe and Sane” fireworks in nearly 300 communities across California, CAL FIRE is reminding everyone to do their part to prevent fires caused by fireworks this Fourth of July.

  • Illegal fireworks pose a serious threat of both causing injury and sparking wildfires.
  • Each year, serious injuries and millions of dollars in property loss occurs because of wildfires sparked by fireworks.
  • Every year fires are caused by illegal and unsafe use of legal fireworks, endangering members of the public and first responders. Those responsible for starting fires due to illegal use of fireworks can be held financially and criminally responsible.
  • Large grass crops and abundant vegetation, due to a wet winter, increase the threat for devastating wildfires throughout all of California and that is why those who choose to use Safe and Sane fireworks must take all precautions and follow all safety instructions.

  • California has a zero-tolerance policy toward illegal fireworks. We, along with local authorities will be working together to ensure a safe holiday.
