Most California cities ban all consumer fireworks. Salinas may allow only 'safe and sane' types during July 1 to 4 or ban all types entirely.
California law categorizes fireworks as 'dangerous' (always illegal) and 'safe and sane' (State Fire Marshal approved, cities opt in). Many California cities ban ALL consumer fireworks including safe and sane types. Where allowed, sales and use are restricted to June 28-July 6. Professional displays require fire marshal permits. Illegal fireworks are a significant wildfire risk in California, especially in VHFHSZ areas.
Illegal fireworks: $500 to $50,000 depending on type and jurisdiction. Causing fire: felony arson charges. Seizure and destruction.
