Leave the Fireworks to the Pros
Fire officials are reminding residents that all fireworks—including “Safe and Sane” fireworks—are prohibited throughout Plumas County and Sierra County. The ban includes sparklers and other fireworks bearing the California State Fire Marshal’s seal. Only permitted public displays are allowed.
In Lassen County, “Safe and Sane” fireworks may only be used within the Susanville city limits. They are illegal everywhere else in the county and are prohibited on all public lands.
With wildfire danger increasing across Northern California, officials encourage everyone to enjoy one of the region’s professional fireworks displays and help prevent human-caused wildfires.
