Safety First with Fireworks

It’s tradition - fireworks to celebrate the Fourth of July. However, fireworks can bring danger.

Before you set off fireworks, plan carefully so no one gets hurt. Non-explosive and non-aerial fireworks, including sparklers, snakes, poppers, cones and tubes that emit sparks, are legal in Roseville. Read more
