Only ground-based "permissible consumer fireworks" are legal anywhere in Arizona (ARS §36-1606); aerial fireworks are illegal statewide. In forested Coconino County, Flagstaff bans fireworks citywide, county fire restrictions prohibit them, and national forest land is off-limits year-round.
Arizona law (ARS §36-1606) allows only ground and handheld permissible consumer fireworks — sparklers, fountains, ground spinners, snakes, and smoke devices. Anything that flies or explodes in the air is illegal statewide. Because Coconino County is high-risk ponderosa forest scarred by the Schultz, Museum, Pipeline, and Tunnel fires, restrictions go far beyond the desert. Flagstaff prohibits the sale and use of fireworks within the city, unincorporated county fire restrictions ban fireworks in the wildland-urban interface, and fireworks are forbidden year-round on the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests. Professional public displays require a fire marshal permit.
Setting off illegal aerial fireworks, or using fireworks where locally banned or during fire restrictions, brings misdemeanor charges and fines. If a wildfire results, felony charges and liability for suppression costs follow.
