Huntington Park, CA Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Huntington Park regulates fireworks in two places in Title 4 of the Municipal Code: Chapter 8 for sales and Chapter 20 for possession and discharge. Section 4-20.01 defines dangerous fireworks as all fireworks that are not safe and sane under Section 12529 of the California Health and Safety Code, plus any permitted fireworks altered to take on dangerous qualities. Section 4-20.02 makes it unlawful to sell, possess, keep, store, use, or discharge them within the City of Huntington Park at any time, apart from a fireworks show permitted by the City or an exception provided by law. A law enforcement officer, Fire Department employee or code enforcement officer can confiscate them, and they are taken to the nearest Fire Department for disposal.

Permitted fireworks are the safe and sane kind, and § 4-20.03 allows discharge only on the 4th of July between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., unless the City has issued a permit for another time. Section 4-20.04 adds limits. A minor under 18 cannot possess or discharge permitted fireworks unless a person over 21 is physically present and supervising, and no one can sell them to a minor. No one can discharge them on City property or possess them in any park, playground, swimming pool, athletic field or the Civic Center area. Altered permitted fireworks can never be discharged. None can be fired onto another person's property or within ten feet of any residence, dwelling or other structure.

On the sales side, § 4-8.01 requires a permit to sell any fireworks of any kind. Section 4-8.02 limits sales to safe and sane fireworks from 12:00 noon on June 26th through 11:59 p.m. July 4th of each year. Under § 4-8.03 applications are available at the Community Development Department in City Hall, are accepted only from a local non-profit organization, and are filed between March 1st and April 15th of each year.
