§ 12508 Permitted Exempt Fireworks

• •Some fireworks are called 'exempt' because they are only for special jobs like farming, businesses, or religious events.
• •The State Fire Marshal and a fire safety group check these fireworks to make sure they are safe for these special uses.
• •You need a special permission (permit) from the local boss (like the fire department) to use these fireworks.

A farmer wants to use fireworks to scare birds away from his crops.

The farmer can't just buy any fireworks. He needs to get the special 'exempt' fireworks that are made for farming. He also has to ask the local fire department for permission first.
