Bolstered by financial support from the State-Approved Fireworks industry and the nonprofits that sell Safe and Sane fireworks, local police and fire officials plan to vigorously enforce state laws that allow them to cite those who sell, possess or use illegal fireworks. Those cited face fines of up to $50,000 and jail terms of up to one year. In addition, parents may be held liable for any fire damage or injury caused by their children using illegal fireworks.
“There is no excuse for breaking the law when it comes to fireworks. Californians have plenty of ways to safely celebrate the Fourth of July without using bottle rockets, aerial shells and other bootlegged, illegal pyrotechnics that can cause devastating injuries and damage property,” said Tonya Hoover, California State Fire Marshal. “If you are someone who thinks using illegal fireworks are exciting or someone who is trying to make a profit from selling illegal fireworks, we are determined to stop you.”
“Years ago, it might have seemed like an innocent act to set off bottle rockets, but even then people were injured.. Today, we are seeing a growing influx of high-powered, sophisticated pyrotechnics brought in by criminal entrepreneurs or purchased over the Internet and shipped illegally. I urge our citizens and visitors not to purchase or use these dangerous devices.”
加利福尼亚批准了各种安全和理智的烟花，提供令人兴奋的展示，但不要以不受控制的方式进入空中，爆炸或在地面上移动。每年在7月第四日之前每年都在出售，并且是假期使用的唯一法律烟花。

With many local police and fire agencies under budget pressure, the 457 Sacramento-area nonprofits that sell State-Approved Fireworks and the companies that provide these legal fireworks are earmarking some of the funds generated by fireworks sales to help underwrite local teams to patrol, identify those using or selling illegal fireworks, and issue citations. They are also providing funding to help with prosecution efforts.
“我们都在同一边,做我们最好的公关otect those who want to celebrate the Fourth of July by making sure they have safe ways to do so,” Revell said. “We’re proud to be part of the effort to eliminate the criminals who would put our children and our homes at risk by selling or using dangerous fireworks.”
萨克拉门托县副局院士Rick Miller表示，对于几十年前的手腕上，那些引用的人的处罚远远超出了手腕的剧目。发现占有非法烟花的严重违规者将有机会在县监狱举行三年的非正式缓刑和五天。使用非法烟花捕获的个人可能需要在县监狱至少十天服务。事先犯罪记录或儿童危害收费可以大幅增加罚款。
“这些处罚将适用于成人和少年罪犯，无论违法者都有多么违法的违法行为如何使用或拥有违法行为，那么就会适用。”米勒表示。“如果由于使用非法烟花或炸药的数量，类型或方式，任何非法烟花费用被起诉作为重罪，可能会追求国家监狱承诺，特别是如果被告有先前的犯罪记录。”
Sacramento Metro Fire Department Chief Kurt Henke said the local agencies participating in the Safety Task Force are repeating their Zero-Tolerance campaign that debuted last year with the catch-phrase “Illegal Fireworks… You Light It, We’ll Write It!”
“The Task Force will be out there in strength to issue citations, confiscate illegal fireworks and arrest individuals if the illegal fireworks are found in sufficient quantities or cause severe damage,” Henke said. “Those involved with illegal fireworks should consider this to be fair warning: We are targeting you, and we are going to do everything we can to make sure you don’t ruin the Fourth of July for other people.”
