Oroville is one of only three Butte County cities (with Gridley and Biggs) where California 'Safe and Sane' fireworks are legal. They may be sold and used within city limits around July 4th and may not be taken outside the city. Anything aerial/explosive — or any fireworks in unincorporated Butte County — is illegal, with fines up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail.
Safe and Sane fireworks bear the State Fire Marshal seal and are sold by licensed nonprofits. Fireworks legally bought in Oroville cannot leave the city limits. Unincorporated Butte County and most other cities ban all fireworks due to extreme wildfire risk (Camp Fire region).
Illegal fireworks: up to $1,000 fine and up to 6 months in county jail. Safe and Sane limited to within city limits during the permitted window.
