“If it explodes, it’s not legal.” That’s the lowdown on the legality of homegrown fireworks shows from the Rumson police.
With the Fourth of July approaching, the police wanted to give area residents a heads up on what is and is not legal in all of New Jersey with respect to the celebratory sizzling, sparkling amateur backyard light shows.
So, they’re circulating the below flyer to quell any doubts, urging to leave the explosives to the professional pyrotechnics. And ground-based sparkling devices and related novelties are legal.
The bottom line, again, to be safe and legal with your July 4th festivities: “A good rule of thumb is, if it explodes, it is not legal,” a released statement from police said. “IF in doubt, please give us a call at 732-842-0500.
“Have a safe and happy July 4th!”
