City of Lancaster/Palmdale Announced 4th July FireWorks Event.

It’s that time of year again! Firework Season! The City of Lancaster and City of Palmdale recently announced a Firework event happening on July 4th this year. Save your Firework excitement until then and watch the Antelope Valley sky light up in honor of Independence Day.

Please be responsible and leave the use of fireworks to the professionals. Every year, fires and serious injuries to people and pets result from the illegal use of fireworks including burns, blinding, and even disfiguration. Fireworks may cause distress, cost the county millions of dollars in property loss, and put your property at risk.

Fines for the use of illegal fireworks, including “Safe and Sane” fireworks, begin at $2,500. The use, possession, sale, and transportation of all types of fireworks are illegal in Lancaster and any of the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.

To report illegal fireworks please call the non-emergency number at the Lancaster Sheriff Station, (661) 948-8466 or the Los Angeles County Fire Department, which has a hotline at 888-654-FIRE (3473).
