***4th of July Fireworks Safety Tips***
Fireworks are illegal to possess in the Unincorporated Area of Los
Angeles County, which includes the community of Altadena. Safe & Sane
fireworks are not illegal to possess. However, they are only legal to
discharge in a city that sells them. When dealing with Safe & Sane
Fireworks, remember the difference between possession (legal) and
discharging them in a prohibited area (illegal). All Safe & Sane
Fireworks are marked as such. Any device that explodes, rises into the
air or darts about, is illegal in California. Illegal fireworks include:
bottle rockets/skyrockets, exploding firecrackers, or extremely large
explosions.
In the event you need to report illegal fireworks activity, be prepared
to describe what you see. Information needs to be reported as soon as
possible. If you see the violator, describe their approximate age, color
of clothing, as well as how long the violation has been occurring.
Please keep in mind this is an extremely busy holiday for the County Fire
Department and Altadena Station. Based upon the urgency of the call for
service, our personnel will prioritize our response as needed.
Attached below is a link to the Los Angeles County Fire Department “4th
of July Safety Tips”. The advisement displays different types of illegal
fireworks and the fines associated with their possession or use in the
Altadena Community.
