This Immigration Heritage Month, we celebrate the people who hold California together. We honor their sacrifices and admire the resilience immigrants in this country display each and every day. Thank you immigrants, for making California home.
Fireworks don’t just sparkle. They can scar.
Illegal fireworks can cause devastating burn injuries, spark wildfires, and carry serious criminal penalties, including fines and jail time.
Today, we joined our partners ahead of the Fourth of July to deliver one unified message: illegal fireworks cause real harm and real consequences.
The rules are simple:
🔴 Only Safe and Sane fireworks, approved by the California State Fire Marshal, are legal for personal use.
🔴 Fireworks are not legal everywhere in California. Know your city and county restrictions before you celebrate.
🔴 Safe and Sane fireworks may only be used in the community where you purchased them.
🔴 Know the law. Violations will be enforced.
As we celebrate 250 years of this nation, let’s honor it the right way by keeping California safe. Your community is counting on you.
