Law enforcement and fire inspector teams are cracking down on the use of illegal fireworks in Las Vegas neighborhoods over the holidays. Only fireworks labeled “safe and sane” are allowed and only during certain holidays and when locally licensed and inspected fireworks stands are permitted to sell them. All fireworks, including those labeled “safe and sane,” are a concern during the spring and summer months when the threat of wildland fire is highest in Southern Nevada. Neighborhood concerns about noise, litter, and the use of illegal fireworks purchased outside the Las Vegas Valley also are common. Partners in the “You Light It, We Write It” effort include Clark County, the local cities, LVMPD and Nevada Highway Patrol.
