COMMUNITY ALERT REMINDER

2013 Los Angeles Fire Department

SPREAD THE WORD “COMMUNITY ALERT REMINDER”

The Los Angeles Fire Department reminds you that ALL FIREWORKS, even the so-called “safe and sane” variety are ILLEGAL in the City of Los Angeles. Those who use, possess or merely transport ANY type of fireworks are subject to severe penalty.

Fireworks within the City of Los Angeles are a violation of Municipal Code 57.55.01A, or Section 12677 of the Health and Safety Code.
