Located in Big Bear
Lake, California in the San Bernardino Mountains,
the Big Bear Assistant Chief-Fire Marshal Mike Maltby 
asks that everyone be alert and aware of the importance of a state legal
law and especially everywhere in our mountain community, to have in your possession
or ignite fireworks.
Fireworks
can be beautiful, but they can be unpredictable and deadly. Numerous fires have
resulted from the use of personal fireworks, not to mention causing severe
injuries to the users.
Personal
fireworks are illegal throughout Big Bear Valley, including “safe and sane”
fireworks. In addition, all fireworks that explode, shoot into the air or move
along the ground are termed dangerous and are illegal anywhere in California.
If
you see something, say something and call 9-1-1

Chief
Marshal Mike Maltby states, “The only fireworks allowed in Big Bear Valley
are the professional 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular over Big Bear Lake. No
personal fireworks are allowed. Fire officials will be issuing citations with
fines up to $1,000 for fireworks violations.”
The
Rotary Club of Big Bear Lake provides our Residents and Valley Visitors with
world-class fireworks on the evening of July 4th, visible from many
vantage points. Sit back and enjoy the show.
