Fourth of July in California, like pretty much everything else in 2020, is going to look very different this year.
The state of California has announced what is allowed and what is not allowed when it comes to fireworks during the Fourth of July weekend.
Some cities have allowed the sale and use of “safe” fireworks during the week of the Fourth of July, while other cities have banned them altogether.
In the Bay Area, fireworks are allowed in:
Cloverdale
Dixon
Dublin
Gilroy
Newark
Pacifica
Rio Vista
Rohnert Park
San Bruno
Sebastopol
Suisun City
Union City
Even in those cities, only fireworks labeled “safe” are legal. According to CalFire, the following types of fireworks are illegal everywhere in the state:
Aerial shells
Bottle rockets
Firecrackers
Roman candles
Skyrockets
Other fireworks that explode, go into the air or move on the ground in an uncontrollable manner
Remember, even legal fireworks still pose fire dangers and can injure people.
