City Of Brentwood: Personal Fireworks Aren't Allowed In Neighborhoods

Press release from the City of Brentwood:

06/23/2021

A reminder to residents that personal firework displays are illegal inside the City of Brentwood without a permit - something that has been part of the municipal code for many years.   The City asks that all residents be respectful of their neighbors and allow the only fireworks set off to be those in permitted displays.

The Municipal Code defines fireworks as any combustible or explosive device, or article prepared for the purpose of producing a visible or audible effect by combustion, explosion, deflagration or detonation. Examples include, but are not limited to, firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, Roman candles, bottle rockets, sparklers, smoke bombs, and other fireworks of like construction and any fireworks containing any explosive or flammable compound. Flammable “sky lanterns” are also prohibited per state law enacted in 2011.

Besides being a safety hazard, fireworks are also a fire hazard.  

Please plan to attend the City of Brentwood's July 4th Celebration which includes fireworks on Sunday, July 4th at 9pm.  Live music will begin at 7pm.
