PALMDALE \u2013 Dozens of local nonprofit organizations will begin selling fireworks at various locations throughout Palmdale starting Sunday, June 28, city officials announced.<\/p>\n

Fireworks will be sold during the following dates and times:<\/p>\n

Sunday, June 28 \u2013 Noon to 10 pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday, June 29 through Saturday, July 4 \u2013 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, July 5 \u2013 10 a.m. to noon<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Palmdale City Council at its June 3 meeting approved issuing permits for several organizations (see list below) to sell fireworks. Only nonprofit organizations that have headquarters in Palmdale or have more than 50 percent of their membership residing in Palmdale and have a minimum of 20 members are eligible to apply for fireworks booths. Only one booth is allowed per organization.<\/p>\n

Organizations’ booths must pass an inspection by the Los Angeles County Fire Department before the City’s Code Enforcement Division will issue the fireworks permit. Fireworks may be purchased by those who are age 18 or older in the city of Palmdale. Proof of age may be requested for purchase.<\/p>\n

The city of Palmdale is the only municipality in the Antelope Valley in which \u201cSafe and Sane\u201d fireworks may be legally sold and discharged on private property. However, the housing community Anaverde, all areas south of the California Aqueduct, and locations in the Rancho Vista area are \u201cno fireworks zones\u201d and may not use any fireworks at all since they are in high risk fire areas.<\/p>\n

The \u201cno fireworks zone\u201d is generally described as the area within the City of Palmdale which lies along the following lines: beginning at the intersection of Rancho Vista Boulevard and 30th Street West, areas south and west of Rancho Vista Boulevard, north to Avenue N-8; south and west of Avenue N-8 from Rancho Vista Boulevard to 55th Street West; west of 55th Street West; and south from 55th Street West to 60th Street West (Godde Hill Road). View the \u201cNo Fireworks Zone\u201d maps here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve developed an interactive map on our Web site, www.cityofpalmdale.org<\/a>, that allows residents to enter their address so they can see if they live in a \u2018no fireworks zone\u2019 area where \u2018Safe and Sane\u2019 fireworks are not allowed,\u201d said Palmdale\u2019s Communications Manager John Mlynar. Access the interactive map here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Residents may also contact Palmdale\u2019s Neighborhood Services Department at 661-267-5181 or 661-267-5170 for assistance on no fireworks zones.<\/p>\n

The City of Palmdale is urging residents to not use illegal fireworks, and administrative fines starting at $2,500 will be in effect. Educational flyers are being distributed with each \u201cSafe and Sane\u201d fireworks purchase. For more information, call 661-267-5181.<\/p>\n
