Perris, CA Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

The City of Perris contracts for fire and emergency services with the CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department, and it follows the countywide zero-tolerance approach to fireworks. The City of Perris states plainly that all fireworks, including sparklers, are illegal in Riverside County, including the City of Perris, because they cause serious injuries and frequently start fires across the region's dry terrain. This means Perris does NOT permit the 'Safe and Sane' fireworks that are legal in a few Riverside County valley cities — Patch's Riverside County roundup lists only Blythe, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs and Indio as allowing them, and Perris is not among them. 'Safe and Sane' are the only fireworks approved by the California State Fire Marshal that fall outside the definition of 'dangerous fireworks,' but a city or county may ban them entirely, and Perris (like most of Riverside County) has done so. Everything in the broader 'dangerous fireworks' category — firecrackers, bottle rockets, sky rockets, Roman candles, aerial shells and large sparklers — is separately illegal statewide under California Health & Safety Code Part 2 (Section 12500 et seq.). Enforcement in Perris is carried out jointly by CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire and the Perris Valley Sheriff's Station, which respond each year to fireworks-related injuries, accidental fires and complaints.
