CAUTION: KNOW THE RULES WHEN IT COMES 
TO FIREWORKS!

 
Fireworks, while 
entertaining 
when handled by 
professional are 
dangerous and 
can cause fires, 
great bodily harm 
and even death. 
In Los Angeles 
County most cities 
ban fireworks 
completely, 
however there 
are several that 
allow "safe-and-
sane" fireworks, 
according to 
the county fire 
department. 
Safe and Sane 
fireworks refer 
to those that DO 
NOT EXPLODE 
OR FLY. 
The 
state fire marshal 
determines which 
fireworks are 
considered "safe-
and-sane," and they are labeled with a state seal.

In our immediate area, "SAFE AND SANE" are allowed 
in: Alhambra, Azusa, Duarte, El Monte, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San 
Gabriel, Santa Fe Springs, South El Monte, South Gate and Temple City. 


NO FIREWORKS ALLOWED IN: All unincorporated communities, 
Arcadia, Bradbury, Burbank, Glendale, Glendora, Los Angeles, Monrovia,
