The Prince George's County Fire/Emergency Medical Services Department encourages everyone to attend one of the following public fireworks displays.  All consumer purchased "backyard" style fireworks are illegal in the County.  Please don't be confused with neighboring jurisdictions that are permitted to sell and use these type of fireworks within their respective jurisdictions.

The law in Prince George's County is a law we can live with.  Its designed to keep you, your family, friends safe from injury and property free of the devastation of fire that are often associated with the use of seemingly innocent fireworks.
