At Merced County, protecting our communities is a shared responsibility. Working alongside CAL FIRE Law Enforcement and Merced County Sheriff’s Office, we remain committed to proactive enforcement and fire prevention efforts that help keep our neighborhoods safe.
During a recent operation, officers seized illegal dangerous fireworks, destructive devices, and materials used to manufacture destructive devices before they could pose a threat to public safety.
Modifying, combining, or repacking fireworks isn’t just making a bigger firework—it can legally turn it into a destructive device. That can elevate a fireworks violation into a serious felony offense with much harsher penalties, including prison time.
Celebrate responsibly this holiday and leave the fireworks to the professionals. It’s simply not worth the risk.
