West Fargo allows consumer fireworks under North Dakota law which permits sale and use of most consumer-grade fireworks. Local municipalities may impose additional time restrictions.
West Fargo fireworks use is governed by NDCC §23-15 which permits consumer fireworks including fountains, sparklers, and aerial devices with less than 200 grams of pyrotechnic composition. North Dakota has no statewide ban on consumer fireworks - it is one of the most permissive states. Local ordinances may restrict use to certain dates (typically June 27-July 5 and December 26-January 1) and hours. Sale requires a state permit. Use on public property requires municipal permission. Prairie fire risk may trigger temporary fireworks restrictions during drought.
Illegal fireworks possession: up to $1,500 fine. Use during restricted hours: $100 to $250 fine. Causing fire damage: criminal liability plus civil damages under state law.
