Have you always wanted to bring your July 4th in with some LEGAL pyrotechnics? Well, now you can! Did you know that several upstate counties in New York – including Orange, Sullivan, Ulster, and Dutchess – now allow the sale of some legal fireworks? These include:
*Cylindrical fountains
*Cone fountains
*Sparklers

The bad news for amateur fireworks enthusiasts: firecrackers, roman candles and anything that shoots projectiles into the air are still totally illegal.
More bad news: Rockland County is NOT ON THIS LIST. For our clients in Rockland, a friendly reminder that buying sparklers in Orange (or elsewhere) and then transporting/using them in Rockland is illegal.
If you have any questions, or want to know if you’re about to purchase something illegal, don’t hesitate to give us a call! (845) 567-4820. But if you want a sure bet, visit the stand located in the parking lot of our friends over at Orange County Choppers.
And remember: even with sparklers, you need to keep it safe! Check out these safety tips.
