Arvada bans all consumer fireworks including sparklers. The city's western foothill interface and dry grasslands along Ralston Creek and Leyden make wildfire risk a year-round concern.
CRS §12-28-101 et seq. regulates fireworks statewide. Aerial consumer fireworks are illegal throughout Colorado. Only "permissible fireworks" (ground-based items, sparklers, fountains, snakes) are legal under state law. Many Colorado cities - including most along the Front Range - ban all consumer fireworks within city limits due to wildfire risk. Arvada likely bans or heavily restricts consumer fireworks. Professional displays require fire marshal permits.
Illegal fireworks: Class 2 misdemeanor $250 to $1,000. During fire ban: enhanced penalties. Fire-causing: felony arson charges possible.
