Advisory

All fireworks are illegal until July 4th. Report illegal firework activity. Spread the word

The City of Gardena will not tolerate the use of illegal fireworks.

If the device you possess or are thinking of lighting on July 4th does not have a State of California Registered Seal, it is illegal.

If you take the chance of selling, distributing or igniting an illegal firework this season, you risk the chance of being cited and/or arrested.

A special task force will be out this year taking a zero tolerance approach to all enforcement.

In addition to court fines and booking fees, the City of Gardena will seek financial restitution from all violators that are cited or arrested.

Watch for illegal or dangerous firework activity; we will be.
