Lincoln Municipal Code Art. I General Provisions

The ordinance codified in this chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Lincoln Fireworks Ordinance."

(Ord. 409B §1.04, 1982)

The term "fireworks" as used in this chapter shall be held to mean firecrackers, rockets, torpedoes, roman candles, toy cannons, detonating canes, blank cartridges, sparklers, squibs and other devices designed and intended for pyrotechnic display. Included within this definition are all "safe and sane" products.

(Ord. 493B §1, 1987)

The city council declares that it is not its intention in adopting the Uniform Fire Code to prohibit the sale and use of safe and sane fireworks or the public display of fireworks with the city. The ordinance codified in this chapter is, therefore, adopted to provide for the regulation of the sale and use of fireworks in accordance with the state fireworks law (Health and Safety Code section 12500 et seq.) and the regulations of the State Fire Marshall (19 Cal. Admin. Code section 976 et seq.).

(Ord. 409B §1.01, 1982)

The city council declares that the provisions of this chapter shall control the sale and use of fireworks within the city, notwithstanding any provision of any edition of the Uniform Fire Code which is currently, as of the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter, or may thereafter be adopted by the city pursuant to state law.

(Ord. 409B §1.03, 1982)
