Reminders about NYS Laws about Fireworks

NYS Laws approve ONLY sparking devices which are ground based or hand held devices that produce a shower of white, gold or colored sparks.

These fireworks may also include a colored flame, an audible crackling effect, an audible whistle effect and /or smoke.

Sparkling devices must NOT rise into the air, must NOT fire inserts or projectiles into the air and must NOT be exploding.

Torpedoes, skyrockets, firecrackers, bottle rockets, rockets, roman candles and bombs are defined by law as "dangerous fireworks" and are still ILLEGAL.

It is a crime to provide sparkling fireworks to anyone under 18 years of age even in states that fireworks have been legalized.

ALSO approved sparkling devices are ONLY legal ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, not the weekend before, 3 days before, or anytime after.

THANK YOU.
