Dangers of Fireworks

Fireworks are banned due to the inherent danger they pose in our community.

Fireworks can lead to:

  • Panic
  • Fire
  • Damage to property
  • Injuries to people and pets (e.g. burns, eye, ear, hand, arm, leg, face, etc.)
  • Chemicals toxic to the environment and human health
  • Leftover debris / litter which can find its way to our waterways or harm pets

The best way to protect your family is not to use any fireworks at home - period. Instead, attend a professional fireworks display.

Fireworks are illegal in Santa Clara.
