Consumer fireworks are illegal in NJ under N.J.S.A. 21:3-1. Only sparklers, ground-based fountains, smoke devices, and novelties are legal for persons 16+. Jackson Township is in a high wildfire risk area due to Pinelands proximity.
NJ law (N.J.S.A. 21:3-1) bans consumer fireworks. Since 2017, only hand-held sparklers, ground-based sparklers/fountains, smoke devices, and novelty items are legal for persons 16 and older. Jackson Township's location near the Pinelands makes fireworks use particularly dangerous during dry conditions. The NJ Forest Fire Service monitors conditions and may issue additional restrictions during elevated fire danger periods.
Up to $500 fine for first offense. Fireworks use during dry conditions or burn bans carries additional risk of wildfire-related charges.
