Rumson Police: Zero Tolerance for Area Residents Caught with Fireworks
With the Fourth of July holiday comes fireworks — legal displays set safely by professional pyrotechnicians on barges, not in suburban back yards or anywhere else.
So, that in mind, Rumson police are reminding people in the area that fireworks are illegal in the state of New Jersey for any unlicensed professional.
“The chief has advised to patrols to have zero tolerance for anyone caught setting them (fireworks) off,” Rumson Detective Sgt. Christopher Isherwood said.
And police are reminding all that with the offense ranging from possession of fireworks to intent to sell, the penalties can be very stiff.
They range from a disorderly persons offense for possession alone to “possession with intent to sell being a fourth-degree offense with a possible penalty of up to 18 months in jail and $10,000 in fines,” Isherwood said.
There are no displays in the Rumson-Fair Haven area set for tonight, so police further advise that residents don’t take it upon themselves to set one. They also remind residents that fireworks traumatize seniors, vets with PTSD and animals.

“We would like to remind residents that not only are fireworks dangerous, they are illegal in NJ,” Rumson police said in a Facebook post. “Leave the fireworks to the experts, and enjoy the long weekend.”
