Glendale prohibits the manufacture, use, possession, sale, discharge, and storage of all fireworks within city limits. Only professional public displays authorized by the fire chief are permitted.

This is a total ban covering all consumer fireworks including sparklers, fountains, and firecrackers. Only professional public displays conducted by licensed pyrotechnicians with fire chief authorization are allowed. The ban reflects wildfire risk in the Verdugo Mountains foothill areas.
