As we approach the 4th of July holiday, we usually receive questions about fireworks, including what is legal in Pennsylvania. Here are some of the frequently asked questions with some answers to the questions:

FIREWORKS IN PENNSYLVANIA FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use fireworks in Pennsylvania? State law prohibits the use of Consumer and Display Fireworks in Pennsylvania without a permit. Items defined as “ground and hand-held sparkling devices”, “novelties” and “toy caps” are not currently regulated by State Law; therefore, their sale and use are permissible. These “non-fireworks” are the only types allowed to be sold from tents, stands, convenience stores, retail establishments, and other various outlets not licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

Can I buy regular fireworks (not sparklers or novelty items) under any conditions? This answer depends on whether or not you are a Pennsylvania Resident.

•Pennsylvania residents: May purchase Consumer Fireworks only with a display permit issued by a municipality.

•Non-residents: An amendment to the Fireworks Law, effective November 30, 2004, makes it legal, upon proof of out-of-state residency status, to purchase Consumer Fireworks from a facility licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture provided the Consumer Fireworks are transported directly out of state by the seller or purchaser.

How do I get a permit for a fireworks display? The Commonwealth does not issue permits for firework displays and does not oversee the issuance of permits by the municipalities. Contact your local municipality for further information.

Any business entity that performs, provides, or supervises fireworks displays or exhibitions, for profit, must register annually with the Office of Attorney General. For more information, contact the Office of Attorney General, Criminal Law Division, at (717) 787-3391.

Who enforces the Fireworks Law? Any Law Enforcement Officer, having jurisdiction, may make an arrest and confiscate fireworks under the Fireworks Law. To report a violation of the Fireworks Law, contact the Police Department servicing your area.

What else should I know about fireworks? Cherry bombs, M-80s, M-100s, silver salutes and other illegal fireworks are all extremely dangerous. In addition, fireworks constructed from mail order kits are illegal and dangerous to assemble or use. Never attempt to make your own fireworks or tamper with fireworks.

For further information:
