Prince George's County, MD Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Maryland statewide permits gold-label sparklers, ground-based sparkling devices, and novelties like snakes and party poppers, but the Maryland State Fire Marshal confirms that in Prince George's County all fireworks are illegal, including those ground-based sparklers. County Code Subtitle 11, Section 11-267 makes it unlawful to manufacture, possess, store, sell, discharge, use, burn, or explode any fireworks in the county, with the sole exception of an authorized public display conducted by a licensed fireworks shooter. Displays require Office of the Fire Marshal approval, and any fireworks brought in for a display must be stored under conditions approved in advance. Firecrackers, bottle rockets, Roman candles, mortars, and aerials are prohibited everywhere in Maryland.
