Full Notification

The Gardena Police Department will be conducting strict enforcement of fireworks laws this Fourth of July season, in an attempt to educate the public of the dangers of using illegal fireworks. Our goal is to prevent injuries caused by the possession and/or mishandling of fireworks, both legal (Safe and Sane) and illegal. Please pass the word to friends and neighbors.

There are many restrictions regarding the use of Safe and Sane fireworks. These restrictions can be found on the City of Gardena website (http://www.codepublishing.com/CA/Gardena) and looking under section 8.16.020 of the Gardena Municipal Code. Illegal fireworks (not Safe and Sane) are not to be used at anytime. Notify the police if you see illegal fireworks being used.

Primarily, Safe and Sane fireworks may be possessed from June 28, 2014 beginning at 12:00 PM, until July 4th, 2014 at 10:00 PM. Per statute, Safe and Sane fireworks may only be discharged from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM on July 4th.

Chief Edward Medrano will be holding a Fireworks Forum in the next few weeks. More information on this forum and our fireworks enforcement efforts will follow.
