State Law regulates the use and sales of fireworks in Arizona
The Phoenix Fire Code prevents the sales and use of consumer fireworks in the City of Phoenix. However, during specific dates, Arizona State Law supersedes this requirement and allows the sale and use. Arizona Revised Statutes section 36-1606 regulates when permissible fireworks can be bought, sold and used in Arizona. The law does not apply to novelty items: snappers, snap caps, glow worms, snakes, party poppers, and sparklers.
