“Safe and Sane” fireworks now on sale in Clark County

Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) Clark County and partnering agencies are asking the public to follow the rules regarding fireworks as the 4th of July holiday looms.

“Safe and sane” fireworks are the only type of consumer fireworks allowed in Clark County, and only for use through July 4 ^th each year when nonprofit groups are allowed to sell them for fundraising purposes at locally licensed and inspected stands.

“Safe and sane” fireworks generally include sparklers and fireworks that keep to a small, circular area on the ground and don’t explode in the air.  Illegal fireworks include firecrackers, Roman candles, and sky rockets – anything made of highly combustible materials.

Fireworks purchased from vendors located outside Clark County are likely to be illegal including those purchased from vendors in Pahrump, Amargosa Valley and the Moapa Band of Paiutes.

The inter-agency “You Light It, We Write It” campaign to educate the public about what’s allowed and not allowed – and the penalties if caught using illegal fireworks – will be active again over the July 4th holiday.
