All fireworks — including 'Safe and Sane' — are illegal in Hesperia. Hesperia Municipal Code Chapter 8.36 prohibits the sale, possession, and discharge of fireworks within the city. State law (Cal. Health & Safety Code §12500 et seq.) treats dangerous fireworks as a misdemeanor.
Hesperia is NOT one of the San Bernardino County cities that permits 'Safe and Sane' fireworks. Per SB County Fire's official fireworks list, only Adelanto, Chino, Colton, Needles, Rialto, and parts of Fontana, Grand Terrace, and San Bernardino allow Safe and Sane fireworks during the July 4 window — Hesperia does not. Hesperia Municipal Code Chapter 8.36 (Fireworks) prohibits the manufacture, sale, possession, use, and discharge of all fireworks within city limits. California Health & Safety Code §12500-12727 defines and regulates fireworks statewide; possession of 'dangerous fireworks' (skyrockets, firecrackers, M-80s, aerial shells) is a misdemeanor under HSC §12677 with fines up to $50,000 and one year in jail. The State Fire Marshal under 19 CCR §980 et seq. licenses Safe and Sane devices, but they remain illegal where local ordinance bans them. SB County Fire conducts enhanced enforcement around July 4 and New Year's Eve, including aerial drone surveillance.
Possession or discharge of any fireworks in Hesperia is a Municipal Code violation under HMC Ch. 8.36 with administrative fines, plus state-law penalties under HSC §12677 for dangerous fireworks (up to $50,000 fine and/or one year jail). Property owners can be cited if fireworks are used on their parcel.
