As the JULY 4th 2014 holiday approaches, the Connecticut State Police and the State Fire Marshal want to remind everyone that fireworks are illegal in the State of Connecticut.
The public has been overwhelmed with advertisements, signs, and sales pitches of so-called fireworks. It is important to understand that the only legal “fireworks” items in Connecticut are sparklers and fountains.
July 4th always raises questions about what is legal as far as fireworks and sparklers are concerned. Many questions are received by State Troopers, Fire Marshals, Resident Troopers, and local Police statewide regarding fireworks. The questions reveal that many people are confused as to which “fireworks” can be used by citizens in our state.
To avoid confusion and caution our citizens, Connecticut Law 29-357 is very specific:
Only sparklers and fountains of not more than one hundred grams of pyrotechnic mixture per item, which are non-explosive and non-aerial, are legal in Connecticut.
