CARSON — The City of Carson June 17 announced a new zero-tolerance policy on fireworks — including so-called “safe and sane” varieties — effective immediately under Ordinance 25-027. The policy designates Carson as a ‘Firework-Free Zone,’ reflecting the city’s commitment to preventing needless fires, injuries, and property damage that occur every year as a result of fireworks use.
“Fireworks cause thousands of preventable injuries and millions in property losses nationwide,” said Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes. “Carson is taking a stand and violators will receive a fine of up to $5,000. With the support of our Sheriff’s and Fire departments, we are saying ‘no more’—and we are backing up that commitment with focused enforcement and community rewards.
Key Elements of the Zero-Tolerance Policy include:
Why This Matters:
Residents can play a key role in keeping Carson safe by choosing not to use fireworks and instead enjoying professional, permitted displays in neighboring communities. If residents witness illegal fireworks activity, they can report it by calling 310-830-1123 with location details, descriptions, or any available photo or video evidence.
Lastly, help spread the word — share the message on social media that Carson is now a Firework-Free Zone and encourage others to celebrate responsibly.
