No Illegal Fireworks in Pico Rivera!
It’s that time of year - thinking of getting fireworks? Don’t get illegal ones.
Only “safe and sane” labeled fireworks are permitted in the city of from June 28 to July 5th at midnight.
We encourage residents to attend public fireworks events instead.
A city ordinance with a $1000 minimum fine will be assessed to anyone for discharging illegal fireworks.
Advanced detection equipment will be utilized to locate offenders. There are additional fines for possessing, storing, selling, aiding, allowing, or displaying illegal fireworks – this means residents and property owners can be fined for hosting parties with illegal fireworks.
Property owners and residents may also be held liable for damage or injuries caused by illegal fireworks. Repeat offenders may face fines of up to $1,500 for each offense.
Please avoid the fines - don’t have illegal fireworks at your get-together!
This ordinance will be strictly enforced, and deputies will be monitoring and documenting firework activity.
