**The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station would like to remind residents that all fireworks (including those fireworks classified as “Safe and Sane”) are illegal within the city of Santa Clarita and unincorporated communities**
The penalties for using illegal fireworks include fines of:
– $2,500 for a first offense
-$5,000 for a second offense
– $10,000 for a third offense
Section 9.60.030 SCMC states the following: “Except as otherwise provided, it is unlawful for any person to handle, give away, sell, offer for sale, solicit the sale of, manufacture, possess, purchase, use, ignite, explode, fire, or otherwise discharge any fireworks within the city of Santa Clarita or to aid or abet any of the above with respect to fireworks as defined.”
Los Angeles County Fire Code Section 3301.1.3 states that it is ILLEGAL to store, manufacture, sell, use, or handle ALL FORMS of fireworks in any unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. The penalties for possession or use of fireworks can range from a fine up to $1000, to confinement in a county jail for up to one year.
As a reminder, many fireworks violations are classified as felonies.
Please keep in mind this is an extremely busy holiday for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and Los Angeles County Fire Department. The Sheriff’s Department will have special teams deployed to combat the use of illegal fireworks.

I hope the police and/or fire department patrol the east side of Canyon Country in the Pinetree and Timberlane and Le House neighborhoods on the night of July 4th…we always have arial fireworks and ground fireworks set off and with the dry hills surrounding the neighborhoods ..and with a fire already happening yesterday off of Soledad close to Poppymeadow …any sparks from fireworks could spell trouble.
This report just says, lock your car, or don’t leave stuff in it! Shoplifting happens every day. Most stores don’t report it, this one did. Report every single fireworks you hear on and around the 4th of July. The fine should be 500$s too.
