Firework Safety: Protecting Pets and Property During Celebrations

The use of fireworks that fly or explode is illegal in Florida until the end of the year, except for designated days such as New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and the 4th of July. Using fireworks outside of these permitted days can result in a misdemeanor charge and pose a danger to others. Law enforcement agencies urge people to refrain from using fireworks due to dry weather conditions and the risk of fires.
