All Fireworks Prohibited in Paso Robles


PASO ROBLES, CA – Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services would like to remind

residents that all fireworks including “Safe and Sane” are prohibited in the City of Paso

Robles.

It’s that time when Americans everywhere will celebrate the Fourth of July holiday with

family, friends, and fireworks. “While it is a great American tradition to enjoy fireworks

around the Fourth of July, it is important to remember that all fireworks, even sparklers,

pose dangers. The safest way to view fireworks is to watch professional displays,” said

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Chair Alex Hoehn-Saric.

A report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) finds a significant

upward trend in fireworks-related injuries. For 2023, CPSC received reports of eight deaths

and an estimated 9,700 injuries involving fireworks. Out of the eight deaths, five were

associated with firework misuse, two with a device malfunction, and one involved

unknown circumstances.

This year the City of Paso Robles is increasing our enforcement. Paso Robles Police

officers and firefighters will be using aerial device technology with GPS and video

capabilities to help us pinpoint the location where fireworks are being used. Citations of

up to $1000 will be issued to those caught setting off fireworks.

Please help us by celebrating this 4th of July without using consumer fireworks. The City of

Paso Robles, along with Travel Paso and private sponsors, is hosting a free 4th of July

Celebration at Barney Schwartz Park from 2 PM – 10 PM.
