Safety Tips

The City of Chino allows the sale and use of "Safe and Sane" fireworks in the city limits. Legal fireworks may only be purchased from a State Fire Marshal licensed retail stand from noon on June 28th to midnight July 4th and can only be discharged at that time.

WARNING! All fireworks, including those purchased in the City of Chino, are illegal in the neighboring communities of Chino Hills, Pomona, Montclair, Ontario & the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. All fireworks that either explode or leave the ground are illegal in California. Failure to comply with fireworks regulations will result in confiscation, citation and prosecution.

Severe burns, amputations, blindness and even death are often the result of 4th of July celebrations. Parents are liable for any damage or injuries caused by their children using fireworks.
