This Fourth of July, celebrate safely with family, friends, and neighbors.  To help keep you and your loved ones safe, the Los Angeles Fire Department encourages everyone to attend a permitted fireworks show or drone display and leave fireworks to the professionals. 

All fireworks, including so-called "safe and sane" fireworks, are illegal for personal possession or use in the City of Los Angeles!

fireworks cause serious injuries, fires, and emergency delays.

Fireworks can turn a celebration into a tragedy in seconds.  Every year, fireworks cause serious injuries, fires, and unnecessary risks to families, neighborhoods, pets, and first responders.
