All consumer fireworks are banned in New Jersey under N.J.S.A. 21:3-1. Only licensed professional displays are permitted. Bloomfield enforces state law — no consumer fireworks, including sparklers.
New Jersey state law (N.J.S.A. 21:3-1 et seq.) bans all consumer fireworks. Only 'permissible fireworks' (caps, snappers, toy sparklers up to 12 inches) are technically legal for consumers, but aerial devices, firecrackers, and most consumer-grade fireworks are illegal without a professional display license. Bloomfield has no separate ordinance more permissive than state law.
Fines and possible confiscation. State criminal charges for serious violations.
