Rhode Island Firework Laws and Regulations
Did you know that the use and purchase of fireworks in Rhode Island is heavily regulated? It’s important to understand the state’s firework laws and regulations to avoid hefty fines and potential legal trouble. We’ll explore the ins and outs of Rhode Island’s firework laws and provide you with everything you need to know to have a safe and legal celebration. From permitted fireworks to when you can buy them, we’ve got you covered. So, let’s dive in and discover the exciting world of fireworks in Rhode Island!
Overview of Rhode Island’s Firework Laws
Rhode Island’s firework laws are some of the strictest in the country. The state has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to fireworks, which means that any firework that explodes, emits a flame or sparks higher than 12 feet, or travels laterally on the ground is illegal. This includes popular fireworks such as firecrackers, bottle rockets, and Roman candles.
However, there are some types of fireworks that are allowed in Rhode Island. These include fountains, spinners, and sparklers. These “novelty” fireworks are considered to be safer than their explosive counterparts and are less likely to cause injury or property damage.
It’s important to note that just because a firework is legal in Rhode Island, it doesn’t mean that it’s legal in all municipalities. Some cities and towns have stricter regulations on fireworks use and may prohibit certain types of fireworks altogether.
Types of Fireworks Allowed in Rhode Island
As previously mentioned, Rhode Island allows the use of fountains, spinners, and sparklers that meet certain size requirements. Fountains are stationary fireworks that emit a shower of sparks and can reach heights of up to 6 feet. Spinners are similar to fountains but spin while emitting sparks. Sparklers are handheld fireworks that emit sparks when lit and can be used to create beautiful light displays.
It’s important to note that even though these fireworks are legal in Rhode Island, they can still be dangerous if not used properly. Sparklers, for example, burn at temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and can cause severe burns if mishandled. It’s important to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and to keep a bucket of water nearby in case of emergency.
Fireworks That Are Illegal in Rhode Island
As previously mentioned, any firework that explodes, emits a flame or sparks higher than 12 feet, or travels laterally on the ground is illegal in Rhode Island. This includes firecrackers, bottle rockets, Roman candles, and any other type of explosive firework.
It’s important to note that even though these fireworks are illegal in Rhode Island, they can still be purchased in neighboring states such as Massachusetts and Connecticut. However, it is illegal to transport fireworks across state lines and doing so can result in fines and legal trouble.
Safety Measures for Handling Fireworks
Even legal fireworks can be dangerous if not handled properly. It’s important to follow these safety tips when using fireworks:
- Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Keep a bucket of water nearby in case of emergency.
- Never light fireworks indoors or near dry grass.
- Wear eye protection and gloves when handling fireworks.
- Only light one firework at a time and move away quickly.
- Never relight a “dud” firework.
- Dispose of used fireworks in a metal container.
By following these safety tips, you can help ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration for everyone.
Penalties for Violating Firework Laws in Rhode Island
Violating Rhode Island’s fireworks laws can result in hefty fines and legal trouble. The penalties for violating these laws vary depending on the seriousness of the offense.
Possession or use of illegal fireworks can result in fines of up to $500 and/or up to a year in prison. Selling or transporting illegal fireworks can result in fines of up to $1,000 and/or up to a year in prison.
It’s important to remember that these penalties are in place to protect public safety and to ensure that everyone has a safe and legal celebration.
