WI Stat. §167.10 strictly regulates fireworks. Only non-explosive, non-aerial consumer fireworks are legal: sparklers, snakes, smoke devices, and novelty items. All aerial fireworks (Roman candles, bottle rockets, mortars) and firecrackers are illegal for consumers statewide. Cities cannot expand permissions but may further restrict. Menasha may ban even legal types. Professional displays require city/county permits. Border proximity to states with legal fireworks increases enforcement challenges.
Possession of illegal fireworks: forfeiture up to $1,000. Injury from illegal use: felony charges possible.
