Folsom bans ALL consumer fireworks including 'Safe and Sane' products year-round. Only licensed public displays with Folsom Fire Department permit are allowed. Possession, sale, or use of any fireworks within city limits subjects violators to fines up to $1,000 and possible misdemeanor charges.
Folsom Municipal Code prohibits all consumer fireworks within city limits, including 'Safe and Sane' products that are legal in some neighboring Sacramento County jurisdictions. This includes sparklers, fountains, smoke bombs, piccolo petes, ground spinners, and any device classified as a firework under California Health & Safety Code §12500 et seq. Only licensed pyrotechnic operators conducting public displays (such as the Folsom Pro Rodeo or Independence Day events at Folsom Lake) with a permit from Folsom Fire Department may use fireworks. The ban reflects the city's proximity to Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the east hills and the drought-prone foothill climate. Enforcement is heaviest around July 4 and New Year's Eve, with Folsom Police and Fire conducting joint patrols. Illegal fireworks can be reported anonymously via the city's tip line. Unused fireworks can be surrendered at any Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District station during amnesty periods.
Misdemeanor under CA Health & Safety Code §12700. Fines: $1,000 first offense per Folsom Municipal Code, up to $50,000 under state law for large quantities. Social host liability applies — property owners can be cited if fireworks are used on their property even without their direct use.
