The countdown to Independence Day has begun.
Clark County fireworks rules are in full effect as officials increase enforcement across Southern Nevada. From June 28 to July 4, only “safe and sane” fireworks are allowed, and only when bought from licensed nonprofit stands. Any item that explodes, launches into the air, or comes from unauthorized sellers is illegal. The “You Light It, We Write It” campaign continues this year, cracking down on violations.
Reporting fireworks violations online
Clark County wants residents to avoid dialing 911 for fireworks reports. Instead, people should use www.ISpyFireworks.com, a dedicated site for submitting fireworks complaints. The system keeps emergency lines open and helps dispatchers prioritize serious incidents. Last year, over 11,000 reports were submitted, which allowed police and fire crews to concentrate enforcement in high-risk areas. The goal is to keep neighborhoods safe while reinforcing Clark County fireworks rules.
Buy only from approved vendors
Only TNT and Phantom Fireworks are authorized to sell in Clark County. They operate through nonprofit booths in both Las Vegas and unincorporated regions. In total, 102 booths are approved for county areas and 64 for the city. Fireworks purchased from places like Pahrump, Amargosa Valley, or tribal land are illegal within county limits. These products are not tested by local safety officials, and using them breaks Clark County fireworks rules. Violators face fines starting at $500 and can be charged more than $10,000 for major offenses.
Dangerous fireworks harm people and animals
Illegal fireworks aren’t just loud—they’re dangerous. Loud blasts cause trauma for veterans and lead to panic in pets. Every July, The Animal Foundation handles hundreds of lost pet cases, many of which are never reunited with their owners. Fireworks are banned in all local parks and natural areas, including Red Rock Canyon, Wetlands Park, Lake Mead, and Mount Charleston. Anyone lighting fireworks in these areas violates Clark County fireworks rules and puts lives at risk.
Follow safety guidelines at home
If you’re lighting fireworks at home, safety must come first. Use them only on flat, paved surfaces far from grass, trees, or structures. Always keep a hose nearby and soak used fireworks in water overnight before disposal. Children must never be allowed to light fireworks, including sparklers. These safety steps prevent accidents and ensure residents stay within Clark County fireworks rules during their celebrations.
Valley-wide enforcement in full effect
Law enforcement teams will be active throughout the holiday period. Police and fire departments are increasing patrols from June 28 through July 4. Officers will confiscate illegal fireworks immediately, and citations start at $500. In severe cases, fines can reach five figures. To avoid legal trouble and promote safety, everyone must comply with Clark County fireworks rules this Independence Day.
