Think Before You Ignite 

Illegal Fireworks

• Fireworks that fly through the air, explode or rotate on the ground are illegal throughout Clark County, including the City of Henderson. They are deemed unsafe because the user has no control over where they land, which can potentially cause a fire or injury.

• Illegal fireworks brought into Clark County can be confiscated, and a person possessing or using them can be cited. The penalty is a $1,000 fine and/or a maximum of six months in jail.

• Private use of fireworks of any kind is not allowed on public property, such as those owned by the Bureau of Land Management, US Forest Service, Lake Mead Recreational Area, or City of Henderson parks, trail facilities, streets or sidewalks. Use of fireworks on public property can result in a fine of up to $10,000 and a year in jail as well as the costs associated with resource damage, suppression costs, and injuries.

• Safe and Sane fireworks are illegal at any time of year other than the week of June 28 until 11:59pm on July 4.
