Fireworks in Richland

Richland Municipal Code

Fireworks safety tips:

• Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose nearby.

• Be aware of dry/windy conditions.

• Never allow children to play or ignite fireworks and keep children at a safe distance.

• Only light one firework at a time and then move back quickly.

• Only light fireworks outdoors and on a smooth flat service away from the house, dry leaves, and flammable materials.

• Always buy fireworks from a reliable source – if you buy them in Richland they are legal in Richland.

Fireworks etiquette:

• Be aware of your neighbors, their pets, and their families.

• Safely dispose of used fireworks; let used fireworks soak in a bucket of water overnight before disposing of them in plastic waste bins to prevent smoldering fires that can extend to adjacent structures.

• Do not light fireworks outside of designated hours.

Fireworks clean up:

Please place used fireworks in a pail of water before putting them in the trash and pick up leftover debris when your celebration is over.
