The Santa Clarita City Council along with Los Angeles County Fifth District Supervisor Kathryn Barger, Los Angeles County Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone, Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station Captain Justin Diez and the Grossman Burn Center hosted a press conference to remind residents preparing to celebrate the Fourth of July that fireworks of any kind are illegal in Santa Clarita.

All fireworks, including those labeled “safe and sane” are illegal within City limits. Possession or use of illegal fireworks can range from a fine of up to $1,000 to one year in county jail. Parents may also be liable for any damage or injuries caused by their children using fireworks. The conference will include a pyrotechnics display by professional enforcement personnel to illustrate fireworks danger.
