Key Takeaways

  • •You need a special permit to sell, have, move, or use fireworks for a public show.
  • •The permit only lets you use fireworks for the show, not for anything else.
  • •The permit also lets you move the fireworks to the show place, but only on approved roads.

Example

A town wants to have a big fireworks show for the Fourth of July.

They need to get a permit first. With this permit, they can buy, move, and set off the fireworks for the show. But they can't use the same fireworks for a private party. Also, they can only move the fireworks to the show place using the roads that are allowed in the permit.
