Corona, CA Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

33 defines dangerous fireworks, fireworks and safe and sane fireworks by cross-reference to Cal. 020(A): sale, use, discharge, possession, or providing fireworks to a minor is prohibited citywide at all times, and violating any state fireworks statute is independently a violation of the city section. The prohibition extends past the person who lights the fireworks. 020(A), any property owner or person in control of property who allows someone to sell, use, discharge, or possess fireworks, or hand fireworks to a minor, on that property is in violation regardless of the owner's intent, knowledge, or negligence, because the section expressly makes it a strict liability offense.

020(B) covers fireworks sold, used, discharged, or possessed under a fireworks show permit issued by the city's Fire Marshal or the State Fire Marshal, provided every person handling the fireworks also carries any state-required license. 120(G), at the city's discretion. Civil penalty amounts for the administrative track are set by City Council resolution and can differ for safe-and-sane versus dangerous fireworks. Nothing in the chapter limits penalties otherwise available under the state Health and Safety Code or Penal Code for fireworks offenses.
