Setting off fireworks in Carson just got really expensive.

Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes on Tuesday announced the city’s updated zero-tolerance policy on using, selling, possessing and distributing fireworks, including the safe-and-sane kind, which don’t launch into the air.

The City Council recently adopted an ordinance prohibiting all fireworks, repealing the previous rule that allowed only the safe-and-sane variety. Permitted, professionally organized public fireworks displays will still be allowed to use the larger, more dangerous pyrotechnics, according to the ordinance.

Safe-and-sane fireworks, which typically produce small sparks and stay on the ground, are meant to pose fewer safety risks than ones that explode and fly into the air.

Under the new policy, violators could be fined up to $5,000. First offense citations are $2,000, second offenses are $3,000 and third offenses are $5,000. Those who report the use of fireworks in the city, meanwhile, can receive rewards from $250 to $500.

Residents can report fireworks violations to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at 310-830-1123.

Four years ago, the city imposed fines of up to $3,000 for illegal fireworks; before that, the highest citation was $1,000.

Carson will partner with L.A. County sheriff’s and fire departments to enforce the policy and will use drones to closely surveil the community and identify violators. Joint patrols and targeted operations will especially take place leading up to and on July 4, as well as during other peak firework periods.

When the previous ban only covered the bigger, illegal blasts, many residents still used them, a news release said, so the city decided to give the rules more teeth, aiming to reduce incidents, restore peace and keep families safe in their neighborhoods.

Every year, illegal fireworks in Carson cause fire hazards and thousands of preventable injuries, the release said, including burns, eye damage and limb trauma, with many cases involving children.

The more aggressive fireworks policy is also a response to the devastating fires in January across L.A. County, city spokesperson Chuck Sifuentes said.

Fireworks are a leading cause of structure and brush fires in Southern California’s dry climate, city officials said during the Tuesday announcement.

The explosives also disrupt residents’ sleep, trigger veterans’ PTSD, frighten pets and cause anxiety in seniors and young children, city officials said.
