Fireworks Safety Rules for Fourth of July | Phoenix News

Phoenix fire officials are sounding the alarm ahead of the Fourth of July, warning that even legal fireworks can ignite dangerous fires under dry conditions. New rules effective June 20th ban consumer fireworks on city property and within a mile of protected areas like parks, forests, and wilderness zones — unless approved by fire authorities. Violators face fines up to $2,500, misdemeanor charges, or jail time — plus full liability for fire damage. A free “Celebrate Safely” map helps you check local rules by address. For maximum safety, experts recommend keeping water nearby, never relighting duds, soaking used fireworks, and supervising kids — or simply enjoy a professional show.
