Every year, the Police Department receives tons of questions regarding the sale, possession or use of fireworks in the City of Monroe. Wisconsin Statute 167.10 defines and regulates fireworks. Fireworks are defined as anything manufactured, processed or packaged for exploding, emitting sparks or combustion, which does not have another common use. This definition does not include the following:
• Fuel or lubricants
• Cartridges or shells
• Signal flares
• Matches, cigarette lighters, furnaces, heaters, etc.
• Caps containing no more than ¼ grain of explosive mixture, if for use in a device which prevents direct bodily contact
• Toy snakes that contain no mercury
• Model rocket engines
• Tobacco products
• Sparklers less than 36 inches long designed to produce audible or visual effects
• Party-poppers that spray confetti with less than ¼ grain of explosive material
• Fuseless devices designed to produce audible or visual effects containing less than ¼ grain of explosive materials
• Devices designed primarily to burn pyrotechnic smoke-producing mixtures, such as smoke-bombs
Basically, if the item is designed to fly into the air, explode or shoot out objects other than showers of sparks, it is an illegal firework.
Any other device than those already listed would be considered to be illegal fireworks. No person may sell or possess with the intent to sell fireworks, unless they have a permit from the mayor of a city, a village president, a town chair or their designee to be used specifically in that municipality. No person may possess or use fireworks unless they have obtained such a permit, unless they are transporting the fireworks through a city, village or town. Wisconsin residents can’t buy and use fireworks. Out of State residents can buy fireworks in Wisconsin, and can transport them out of state. Out of State residents can’t use the fireworks in Wisconsin.
The City of Monroe has its own ordinance, City Code 9-4-16, which adopts the state statute. The City of Monroe chooses not to issue general permits for fireworks or fireworks sales. The City never has issued these permits, and there are no plans to do so this year. As such, it is unlawful to sell or possess to sell fireworks in Monroe, and it is unlawful to possess or use fireworks in Monroe.
Because of complaints and confusion, the Police Department does inspect fireworks stands in the City to insure that no fireworks, other than those listed prior, are being sold to Wisconsin residents.
Persons possessing or using illegal fireworks face fines of $175.00 for violation of the City Ordinance. In addition, according to state statute, parents who allow the use of illegal fireworks by their child face potential fines of up to $1000, and face liability for any damages caused by their child’s use of fireworks. Each year, a few violations occur.
It is also prohibited by state statute and city ordinance, to take any of the items listed earlier, such as sparklers, party-poppers, cones, fountains, etc., to fireworks displays. This becomes a safety issue. Do not bring these items to the fireworks display in Twining Park on July 4.
Local officials realize that with fireworks comes fun. However, it is often that the fun turns into tragedy when fireworks explode in some unpredicted manner. It is because of these incidents that the State of
Wisconsin has created these laws, and it is to prevent these incidents that the City of Monroe chooses not to issue these permits. Use of the
allowed items, smoke bombs, sparklers, cones and fountains, should also be in a careful environment. Parents should supervise to insure
there are no unexpected explosions, no accidents with matches or lighters, and that hot wires from used sparklers are not handled improperly. Some of these are still hundreds of degrees hot immediately after use.
Hopefully, this information will gain some understanding of the law, and will bring compliance that may avoid injury, or a hefty fine.
