Consumer Fireworks in states bordering Arizona

The same rule in each neighboring state LawLert has verified, from that state’s own official source.

CaliforniaConditional
Only "safe and sane" fireworks — those examined, tested and registered by the State Fire Marshal and carrying its seal — may be sold or used, and then only in cities and counties that allow them; many California jurisdictions ban all consumer fireworks (Health & Safety Code §§ 12529, 12541, 12671). "Dangerous" fireworks, including firecrackers, sky rockets and Roman candles, are illegal to possess without a permit (§ 12677).

ColoradoConditional
Only "permissible fireworks" (non-aerial, non-explosive) are legal statewide, and only where local law allows — many Colorado cities and counties ban all consumer fireworks. Municipalities and counties may impose further restrictions and prohibitions on sale, use and possession, and drought fire bans can prohibit use entirely (C.R.S. 24-33.5-2001, 24-33.5-2002(5), 24-33.5-2007).

NevadaConditional
Nevada has no statewide consumer-fireworks scheme — each county and city sets its own rules by local option (NRS 244.367). Clark County (Las Vegas) allows only "Safe-N-Sane" fireworks seasonally; some rural counties permit all consumer fireworks; others ban them.
