Maryland fireworks laws

It is illegal to cross state lines and import fireworks for backyard celebrations. Fines may be levied of up to $250 for each firework device. Possession or use of explosive fireworks or large firecrackers such as M-100s or “Quarter-sticks” can carry a felony charge, large fines and time in prison.

For your safety, and that of your guests, fire officials urge Marylanders to keep it safe and only use legal fireworks this season. Leave the fireworks displays to professionals and enjoy one of the many displays in the area.

– Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks.

– Avoid buying fireworks that are packaged in brown paper because this is often a sign that the fireworks were made for professional displays and that they could pose a danger to consumers.

– Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities. Parents don’t realize that young children suffer injuries from sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees — hot enough to melt some metals.

– Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.

– Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully.

– Never point or throw fireworks at another person.

– Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.

– Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.

– Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.

– After fireworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fire.

– Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.

“Using (fireworks) in an unsafe and incorrect manner may lead to serious injury or death,” Annapolis Fire Chief Douglas Remaley said. “In addition, structure fires have occurred from non ground-based fireworks that don’t land where people want them to land, so it is best to leave the fireworks to the professionals.”
