All Fireworks Prohibited in the City of Paso Robles

PASO ROBLES, CA – Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services would like to remind residents that all fireworks including “Safe and Sane” fireworks are prohibited in the City of Paso Robles.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that in 2020 about 15,600 people were treated in emergency departments for firework injuries. Second only to Firecrackers, sparklers accounted for 900 injuries, which were mostly burns to the hands, fingers, and face.

Pyrotechnics spark an average of 18,500 fires every year. With the hot and especially dry climate this year, Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services are now pleading with the public to refrain from setting off any fireworks.

This year the City of Paso Robles is increasing their enforcement. Paso Robles Police officers and firefighters will be using aerial device technology with GPS and video capabilities to help them pinpoint the location of where fireworks are being used. Citations of up to $1000 will be issued to those caught setting off fireworks.

Please help the City of Paso Robles by celebrating this 4th of July without using consumer fireworks. The City of Paso Robles in conjunction with Travel Paso and private sponsors are hosting a free 4th of July Celebration at Barney Schwartz Park from 2 PM – 10PM.
