As we celebrate with family and friends, the Brockton Fire Department wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday. While fireworks may seem like a fun tradition, they can change lives in an instant.

Since 2021, illegal fireworks in Massachusetts have caused:
🔥 486 fires and explosions
🚑 188 serious injuries
💲 More than $854,000 in property damage

In Massachusetts, it is illegal for anyone without the proper license or permit to possess, use, or sell consumer fireworks. Violations can result in fines, seizure of the fireworks, and possible criminal charges. More importantly, illegal fireworks put your family, your neighbors, first responders, and your community at risk.

A few moments of excitement are never worth a lifetime of regret.

This holiday, we encourage everyone to enjoy one of the many professionally permitted fireworks displays offered throughout the Commonwealth. These events are conducted by trained, licensed professionals who follow strict safety standards so everyone can celebrate safely.

❤️ Please help us protect our community:

Leave fireworks to the professionals.

Keep children away from all fireworks and sparklers.

Never attempt to relight a malfunctioning firework.

If you witness dangerous or illegal fireworks activity, report it to the appropriate authorities.

From all of us at the Brockton Fire Department, thank you for helping keep our neighborhoods safe. We hope you have a happy, healthy, and memorable holiday.

Celebrate responsibly. Protect your loved ones. Leave fireworks to the professionals. 🇺🇸🚒
