Victorville, CA Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

Under Victorville Municipal Code and the California Fire Code as adopted by the city through VMC Title 15, the use, sale, possession, storage, and discharge of all fireworks, including state-approved Safe and Sane devices, is prohibited within Victorville city limits. California Health and Safety Code 12500 through 12727 defines dangerous fireworks (aerials, firecrackers, bottle rockets, M-80s, skyrockets) as banned statewide at all times. Victorville has not opted in to Safe and Sane sales, so even fountains and sparklers with the State Fire Marshal seal are illegal. The ban is especially important in the High Desert where extreme summer heat, dry brush, Joshua tree woodland, and high winds turn a single spark into a fast-moving wildfire. Victorville Fire and the San Bernardino County Sheriff Victorville Station run enhanced enforcement from mid-June through July 5 and again around New Year's Eve. Administrative citations start at 1,000 dollars for the first offense and can reach 5,000 dollars per violation, with property owners held jointly responsible under VMC social host provisions.
