Article 6 of ROH Chapter 20 defines fireworks classes, licenses importers and sellers, and requires permits for display fireworks and firecrackers while banning consumer aerials countywide.
Sections 20-6.1 through 20-6.14 govern fireworks throughout the City and County of Honolulu. Definitions are in 20-6.1; licenses to import, store, and sell display fireworks and firecrackers appear in 20-6.4; display fireworks permits fall under 20-6.12; firecracker permits under 20-6.13. Consumer fireworks such as fountains, sparklers, and aerial devices are prohibited. Licensed display operators must meet NFPA 1123/1126 standards, secure sites, and coordinate with HFD. Illegal importation, unlicensed sale, or unpermitted use draws criminal and civil enforcement.
Violations include license and permit revocation, misdemeanor charges, seizure of fireworks, and fines; aerial consumer fireworks possession is prohibited island-wide.
