Maine Firework Laws and Regulations
It’s essential to understand Maine’s firework laws and regulations to ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration. We’ll dive into the specifics of Maine’s firework laws, including what types of fireworks are legal, when and where you can use them, and the penalties for breaking the rules. Let’s explore the fascinating world of Maine firework laws together.
Overview of Maine’s Firework Laws
Maine has some of the strictest firework laws in the country. In fact, the state did not legalize consumer fireworks until 2012, and even then, only certain types of fireworks were allowed. The law was amended in 2015 to allow for more types of fireworks, but there are still restrictions on when and where you can use them.
Maine’s fireworks laws are governed by Title 8, Chapter 31 of the Maine Revised Statutes. This law regulates the sale, possession, and use of consumer fireworks in the state. The law defines consumer fireworks as “any small firework device designed to produce visible effects by combustion and which must comply with the construction, chemical composition, and labeling regulations of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.”
Types of Fireworks That are Legal in Maine
As mentioned earlier, Maine only allows certain types of fireworks to be sold and used in the state. The following types of consumer fireworks are legal in Maine:
- Cone fountains
- Cylindrical fountains
- Ground spinners
- Illuminating torches
- Roman candles
- Sky rockets
- Sparklers
- Wheels
Restrictions on When and Where You Can Use Fireworks in Maine

You cannot use fireworks on public property, including streets, sidewalks, and parks. You also cannot use fireworks within 100 feet of a hospital, nursing home, or residential care facility. Additionally, you cannot use fireworks while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

It’s also important to note that if you cause a fire or injury as a result of using fireworks, you can be held liable for any damages. This can result in significant financial and legal consequences, so it’s essential to use fireworks safely and responsibly.
