Fireworks Laws Vary by City

Fireworks season is here, but rules vary wildly by location—D.C. lets small sparklers and fountains but bans anything that flies or shoots, with fines starting at $2K. Arlington allows fireworks only for 18+ (or with a parent) on private property. Alexandria and Maryland counties like Prince George’s and Montgomery ban all fireworks, including sparklers, with Montgomery tossing fines up to $1K and possible jail time. Fire officials warn sparklers can reach 1800°F—dangerous for people, pets, and property. Report illegal fireworks to 311 in D.C. between July 3–6, or use local hotlines. Know your zone, stay safe, and don’t get caught. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
