Angels Camp PD press release re: fireworks within city limits



“Safe and Sane” fireworks are permitted inside the City limits of Angels Camp on private property. The Bret Harte High School Sports Center parking lot on Murphys Grade Road will be available to the public for fireworks on July 4 from 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM. No public displays of fireworks are scheduled inside the City limits.

Legal fireworks are marked with a “Safe and Sane” logo from the California State Fire Marshal on the packaging, but some illegal fireworks may have a forged logo on them. Illegal fireworks in California are those that explode, leave the ground, or move about uncontrollably, such as sky rockets, bottle rockets, and roman candles. Penalties for possessing, transporting, or using illegal fireworks range from a misdemeanor to felony charges. If you are have a question regarding the legality of your fireworks, please contact your local fire station.


Our area is dry and susceptible to fire. Please use “Safe and Sane” fireworks responsibly
