The law does not apply to novelty items: snappers, snap caps, glow worms, snakes, party poppers, toy smoke devices and sparklers, which have always been considered permissible.

The use of fireworks may be restricted in certain areas if a Federal or State agency implements Stage One Fire Restrictions.
The Chandler Fire Department encourages residents to use caution when storing, handling and using fireworks, and when in the vicinity of other people using fireworks. The CFD also encourages residents to attend one of the spectacular public fireworks displays staged by professionals, such as the annual display at Tumbleweed Park, instead of using fireworks at home.
