All fireworks - including "safe and sane" fireworks - are illegal throughout the Town of Truckee and the Truckee Fire Protection District. Possession, sale, or use is prohibited and confiscation is automatic.
Truckee sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and the Truckee Fire Protection District prohibits all consumer fireworks, including "safe and sane" devices that are legal elsewhere in California. The ban is enforced by TFPD and Truckee Police Department in conjunction with California Health & Safety Code Division 11 (State Fireworks Law). Only permitted professional public displays are allowed. Possession is grounds for confiscation; ignition can carry both criminal penalties and civil liability for any wildfire damage caused.
Penalties include misdemeanor charges and fines under CA Health & Safety Code Section 12700 et seq. Anyone causing a wildfire is civilly liable for full suppression costs under PRC 4435 and may face felony arson charges under Penal Code 452.
