Chapter 8.12 allows only state-classified 'Safe and Sane' fireworks within the city; all other 'dangerous' fireworks (mortars, bottle rockets, M-80s, sky rockets) are prohibited. Retail sale must occur only from a permitted temporary fireworks stand.
Safe and Sane fireworks may be discharged in West Sacramento only during the dates and hours set by the Fire Marshal each Independence Day season — typically June 28 through July 4. Possession or use of dangerous fireworks is a Health & Safety Code §12700 series violation and is also enforceable under Chapter 8.12. Stand operators must be a non-profit organization with at least one year of city history and obtain a permit through the Fire Department.
Discharge of illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor punishable by fine up to $1,000 and/or six months in jail. Civil administrative fines for illegal fireworks possession can reach $1,000+ under city code and added Yolo County fees.
