The (Brief) History of Buffalo Springfield

Stephen Stills proclaims “We’re #1!”

Buffalo Springfield enjoyed an intense, two-year creative burst. Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin played their first show together on April 11, 1966, at the Troubadour in West Hollywood.

The same year, the band recorded and released its self-titled debut, which included the iconic protest song, “For What It’s Worth” and the band’s first single, “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing.” By 1968, they had moved on to other projects.

This ad for the single appeared in the Feb. 4, 1967 issue of Record World

The group spent the first half of 1967 making Buffalo Springfield Again , with Stills and Young both contributing some all-time classics: “Bluebird” and “Rock And Roll Woman” from Stills; and “Mr. Soul” and “Expecting to Fly” from Young. It was the first album to feature songs written by Furay (“A Child’s Claim to Fame”)

On April 14, 2020, Young referred to Stills’ composition, “For What It’s Worth,” as “a great song,” and admitted that the band “never reached our peak.”

[The word “heat” in the lyric “What a field day for the heat” from “For What It’s Worth” actually refers to the authorities who arrested many protestors during Los Angeles curfew riots in 1966.]

Stills’ song ‘For What its worth was the Springfield’s only real hit! A great song. This was an amazing band! We never reached our peak potential. We were pretty young!!! #NeilYoung #NeilYoungArchives #BuffaloSpringfield pic.twitter.com/venvSKEMSD — Neil Young Archives (@NeilYoungNYA) April 14, 2020

The song was, by far, the highest-charting single of their short-lived career, reaching #7 on the Hot 100 in 1967.

Listen to the remastered “For What It’s Worth”

The band played its final show on May 5, 1968. When Last Time Around was released in July 1968, the band members were in the midst of transitioning to new projects that still resonate as some of classic rock’s finest. Stills formed Crosby, Stills and Nash with David Crosby and Graham Nash; Young went solo; and Furay started Poco with, among others, Jim Messina (who produced Last Time Around and played bass on two of the songs). Album highlights include Young’s “I Am a Child” and Furay’s “Kind Woman.”

Listen to the mono version of “Bluebird”

Palmer died in 2004 and Martin passed in 2009. In 2010, Young, Stills and Furay performed together at Young’s annual Bridge School benefit concerts. That led to a brief reunion tour of six dates, with the expectation of more to come. And although Stills and Young have shared the stage on a number of occasions since, no other reunions have occurred.

Buffalo Springfield’s three studio albums were remastered from the original analog tapes for a 2018 box set,  What’s That Sound? The Complete Albums Collection  with stereo mixes of all three albums originally released on Atco, plus mono mixes for Buffalo Springfield and Buffalo Springfield Again .

i hate remastered.they never sound as good as the original.Its just toys they never had in the day the record was made so they like playing around and experimenting

I totally disagree. When they first moved to cd media, they would just burn the original master, and it sounds muffled. I always replace my cd’s with the remaster.

Did Neil Young not show up for Monterey? Interestingly, I see David Crosby onstage with the Springfield.

That’s exactly what happened. Neil had just quit the band so Crosby sat in with Buffalo Springfield for their entire set. You could say that the roots of CSN started right there on that day.

yeah… and i heard that the byrds were superpissed about it!

Yes, Neil flaked out and they got Cros to fill in. This pissed the Byrds because David was still a part of them at the time.

As Crosby was speeding his brains out, he would have played with anybody and everybody who asked, as long as he could get up on that stage….. The man loved the spotlight, and still does.

Buffalo Springfield Reunite After More Than 40 Years

Sarah Ventre

Buffalo Springfield, circa 1970 Michael Ochs Archives/Michael Ochs Archives hide caption

It's no secret that musical rifts are difficult to overcome. Once a band calls it quits and does a couple of farewell tours, it's usually over. On the rare occasion that a band does resurrect themselves, most often it's for a really good cause. (Would we actually have seen Pink Floyd together again if it weren't for Live 8? It's not likely.) Now the surviving members of Buffalo Springfield, the '60s folk-rock band that propelled the careers of its members, is reuniting on October 23 and 24 for Neil Young 's annual Bridge School Benefit Concert in Mountain View, California.  It'll be the first time Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay have performed publicly together since disbanding in 1968.

The Bridge School is a non-profit that works with children who have "severe speech and physical impairments." The concerts have been running continuously since 1986 (with the exception of 1987) and often showcase a cadre of well-known artists. This year is no exception.

In addition to Buffalo Springfield, the two-day concert is scheduled to feature: Pearl Jam , Elvis Costello , a duet by Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson , Lucinda Williams , Billy Idol, Jackson Browne and David Lindley , Modest Mouse , Grizzly Bear , T-Bone Burnett 's Speaking Clock Revue with Elton John , Leon Russell, Elvis Costello, Ralph Stanley , Neko Case , and Jeff Bridges.

You can see and hear the show yourself.  Tickets are available through the Bridge School website.

One of the most iconic bands of the late-1960s, Buffalo Springfield, left a small historical footprint on the Midwest in 1967, playing a pair of concerts near Kenosha, one in Lake Geneva, and the other in Racine.  

The band was formed in April 1966 in Los Angeles with an original lineup of Richie Furay, Stephen Stills and Neil Young on guitars, Bruce Palmer on bass and Billy Mundi on drums. Mundi was promptly replaced by Dewey Martin. Furay was from Yellow Springs, Ohio. Stills was a military child, born in Dallas, Texas, but raised in a half-dozen places, including Gainesville, Fla., Tampa, Fla., Covington, La., Costa Rica, the Panama Canal Zone and El Salvador. Young was born in Toronto but grew up in Omemee, Ontario. Palmer was from Toronto and Martin from Chesterville, Ontario.

The band’s first live appearance was at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on April 11, 1966. All of their subsequent 1966 concert appearances took place in California, except for a pair of shows in New York City on Dec. 30-31. The band toured almost constantly in 1967, mostly in California, but with dates in Texas and New Mexico in early-February and the Pacific Northwest in late-March.

Then, for three months in the late-spring and summer of 1967, the band toured the Midwest. That leg of the tour got off to an inauspicious start on May 5 at Western Illinois University’s Morgan Gym. After their equipment arrived late from Chicago, the band played an abbreviated set, and the school reportedly canceled its check.

Six dates followed, all second-billed behind the Turtles. Those dates were May 5 at the Swinging Gate club in Fort Wayne, Ind.; May 6 at the KRNT Theatre in Des Moines, Iowa; two shows on May 7 at the Masonic Temple in Davenport, Iowa; May 9 at the Crimson Cougar club in Aurora, Ill. (two miles south of Aurora on Illinois Highway 25 and burned down five months later); May 10 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds Arena in Wheaton, Ill.; and May 12 at Central High School in Hinsdale, Ill.

On May 13, the band played the Cellar Club in Arlington Heights, Ill. That club (1964-70) was first located in the basement of the old St. Peter’s Lutheran Church at 116 W. Eastman Street but later moved to an unused warehouse at the empty Bill Cook Buick at 835 W. Davis, across the tracks from the old Arlington High School. 

Following the Arlington Heights date, the Springfield returned to Los Angeles to fill in for the Byrds at the Whiskey a Go Go on May 17-18 after Roger McGuinn came down with the flu. The Doors were the opening act.

The band quickly returned to the Midwest to play a May 20 show at Roberts Municipal Stadium in Evansville, Ind., with The Outsiders opening. There were two dates on May 21, the first an afternoon show at The Cheetah Club, 1106 W. Lawrence Avenue in Chicago with The Scott Brothers opening. The Cheetah was the once and future Aragon Ballroom. An evening show was supposedly played at an unknown venue in Gary, Ind.

The Midwest tour was scheduled to end on May 24 with a show at an unknown venue in Moline, Ill.  On either May 22 or May 23, there was also a supposed date booked at The Headquarters Club in Wheaton, Ill., but both dates were apparently cancelled due to friction between Young and the rest of the band. Everyone returned to Los Angeles on or about May 22, and Young informed all concerned that he was leaving. As he told an audience in Cincinnati in 1970, “It was sort of a habit I got into.”  

By all reports, Young was gone by May 31, and the band was forced to cancel a series of East Coast appearances, including a costly cancelation on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show.”  In those days, an appearance on Johnny Carson often led to an appearance on the more-prestigious “Ed Sullivan Show.” In a 1995 interview, Young claimed that he quit because of the commitment to play on Johnny Carson’s show.

The Springfield returned to Los Angeles and hired Doug Hastings to fill in for Young on dates in Colorado, Texas, Arizona and the West Coast. One of those West Coast dates was the Monterey Pop Festival on June 18, with David Crosby, then with the Byrds, sitting in for Young.

Even though Young was off the road, he was busy. Throughout May and June, he and Jack Nitzsche were hard at work on one of Young’s masterpieces, the song “Expecting to Fly.” Nitzsche, a former arranger for famed producer Phil Spector, first heard the song when Young played it for him on an acoustic 12-string guitar. According to author Jimmy McDonough in his biography of Young entitled “Shakey,” Nitzsche interrupted the performance halfway through and exclaimed, “F*** — what a great song.” 

Nitzsche produced and arranged “Expecting to Fly” at Sunset Sound recording studio in Hollywood. He played electric piano on the track, along with a group of session professionals known as the “Wrecking Crew.” Those musicians included Don Randi on piano and harpsichord, Russ Titelman on guitar, Carol Kaye on bass and Jim Gordon on drums, along with backup singers Merry Clayton, Brenda Holloway, Patrice Holloway, Gloria Jones, Sherlie Matthews and Gracia Nitzsche. Nitzsche recorded the band’s backing tracks in April, while Springfield, with Young still on board, did a short tour of Southern California. Young overdubbed his acoustic guitar and lead vocal tracks in May, and he and Nitzsche spent the next two months tinkering with the tapes.  

As the story goes, Nitzsche later played the recorded version for the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, who was rendered speechless. Young gave the finished version to Buffalo Springfield, none of whom played on the track, for their second album, “Buffalo Springfield Again,” which was released in November. In 2018, the song turned into the centerpiece of the documentary, “Echo in the Canyon,” the story of the Laurel Canyon music scene in the 1960s.

Meanwhile, the Springfield, with Hastings subbing for Young, was scheduled to return to the Midwest in mid-July, but Furay came down with tonsillitis. A July 11 date at the Racine YMCA’s New Sound Dance Club was postponed, along with a July 16 date at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, R.I. A makeup date for July 18 in Racine was also postponed.

The band returned to action on July 19-21 at Convention Hall in Minneapolis, fourth-billed behind Jefferson Airplane, the Electric Prunes and the Shadows of Knight. On July 22, Buffalo Springfield played at the Majestic Hills bandstand in Lake Geneva with the Sidewalk Skippers opening. More on Majestic Hills in Part II of this article.

A July 23 Springfield date at Danceland in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was likely canceled, but on Tuesday night, July 25, Buffalo Springfield, still minus Young, finally played the YMCA’s New Sound Dance Club in Racine, with the Revels of Racine opening. At the time, the downtown YMCA was located at 725 Lake Avenue. According to John Crimmings from First Weber Commercial, who remembers the setup, the dance club was not a dedicated room but was housed in the basement gym. The Lake Avenue building was constructed in 1958, but the YMCA moved out in 2019. The building remains vacant, and First Weber is marketing the building for a possible sale.

Other than a promotional poster for the Racine event and listings on various concert databases, nothing is really known about either of the two Kenosha-area Buffalo Springfield shows. No newspaper reviews, no photos and certainly no tapes. Maybe this article will jolt some memories.

Following the Racine concert, the band played five more regional dates, including July 26 at the Armory in St. Cloud, Minn., playing behind Jefferson Airplane; a supposed July 26 date at the Morgue club in Decatur, Ill. (1985 ½ E. Pershing Road, although it’s listed on the same day as the St. Cloud show); an unknown date at the Dark Spot in Roselle, Ill. (11 S. Roselle Road in a former lumber yard); July 29 at the Historyland Big Top at the Hayward Indian Reservation in Hayward, Wis., supporting the Monkees; and July 30 at the Indian Crossing Casino in Waupaca, Wis.

The Buffalo Springfield would make only four more Midwest appearances before breaking up. In the fall of 1967, the band opened a tour with the Beach Boys, fourth-billed behind Strawberry Alarm Clock and the Soul Survivors. That tour opened on Nov. 17 at the Masonic Auditorium in Detroit, with the remaining dates along the East Coast.  

Any Lynyrd Skynyrd fans reading this? Guitarist Ed King was a member of Strawberry Alarm Clock. One time in 1973, by the service bar of the legendary Atlanta rock club, Richards’, I got to ask King about that band and about the song “Incense and Peppermints.” To his credit, King buried his face in his hands and politely declined to answer any further Strawberry Alarm Clock queries.

The Beach Boys tour resumed in the spring of 1968 with three other Midwest dates, including April 1 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Columbus, Ohio; April 2 at the Cincinnati Gardens in Ohio; and April 3 at the Indiana Theatre in Indianapolis on April 3. The Indianapolis show was the last time Buffalo Springfield played the Midwest.

The band’s final concert anywhere came a month later, on May 5, at the Sports Arena in Long Beach, Calif. Young left the band, for good, after the tour ended, and the Buffalo Springfield broke up. Their final album, appropriately titled “Last Time Around,” was released several months later, on July 30, 1968.  

There have been at least three attempts to reform the group. In 1986, the five original members gathered at Stills’ home studio in Los Angeles to rehearse for what was supposed to be a 20-year reunion tour. A fabulous 14-minute YouTube video exists from that rehearsal. The 1986 tour fell apart when Stills decided to rejoin Crosby, Stills & Nash, and both Furay and Young moved on to other projects. In 2010-11, Furay, Stills and Young, along with bassist Rick Rojas and drummer Joe Vitale, performed a short series of reunion shows. The first two were on Oct. 23-24, 2010 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif., as part of that year’s Bridge School benefit concert.  

The partial reunion continued on June 1-2, 2011 at the Fox Theatre in Oakland. Additional dates followed on June 4-5 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, June 7-8 at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, Calif., and June 11 at the Bonaroo Festival in Manchester, Tenn. A full-blown, 30-date tour was booked for summer 2012, but once again, Young moved on to other projects, and the reunion tour fizzled out.

Since the band first broke up in 1968, Young went on to enjoy an astounding career, sometimes with backing bands like Crazy Horse and sometimes solo. He has released 41 studio albums and eight live albums since 1968. Young and Stills, who did an album and part of a tour together in 1976, have also been part of the on-again and mostly off-again group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Stills has released 15 albums, along with the 1976 joint album with Neil Young and a 2017 joint effort with ex-girlfriend Judy Collins.

After Buffalo Springfield broke up, Richie Furay formed Poco, a very successful country-rock group, before doing two records in 1974 and 1975 as part of the Souther Hillman Furay Band, with Chris Hillman and J.D. Souther. Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer went on the road in the 1980s with a tribute band called both Buffalo Springfield Revisited and Buffalo Springfield Again before Furay obtained a restraining order barring future appearances.

Other local ties

Since missing the May-July 1967 Midwest tour with the Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young has made up for that by playing 28 concert dates in Wisconsin between 1970 and 2019. A complete list follows below.

In addition to his concerts, Young has also acquired a son-in-law with Milwaukee connections. In July 2013, his daughter, Amber Jean Young, married Rajib Chowdhury. Chowdhury’s father, Abdur, was the chair and professor of economics at Marquette University , and he lived in Menomonee Falls.

The younger Chowdhury attended Brookfield Academy and is an investment banker in San Francisco. Neil’s daughter is an artist who designs mixed media objects on paper, often incorporating text.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel , Neil and Pegi Young, Amber’s mother, were in Milwaukee for a few days in late-May 2013 for several pre-wedding events prior to the wedding in San Francisco.

Live reviews

There’s something ironic about the fact that Buffalo Springfield sported one of the most obnoxiously American band names of all time, because the most notable member of the group was a Canadian icon, in the form of Neil Young. Along with his Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young bandmate Stephen Stills, Young formed the crux of a group that reinterpreted the rock trends of the sixties during a brief, two-year spell together between 1966 and 1968, toying with the psychedelic sounds that would soon become de rigeur in the rock scene and hinting at Young’s future country direction, too. None of their three records - Buffalo Springfield, Buffalo Springfield Again and last Time Around - met with a huge amount of critical or commercial success in their day, but the band’s influence on the genre has not escaped notice as they years have gone by, and in 2011, reunited for sic concerts in the U.S. with the three surviving members; Young, Stills and Richie Furay. Running through their back catalogue and closing on Young’s ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’, the shows were a huge success, but plans for a full tour were put on hold in 2012 due to Young’s commitments with Crazy Horse; if it ever does materialise, keep your fingers crossed for some UK dates.

Buffalo Springfield Announce First Tour in 43 Years

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

After months of rumors, Buffalo Springfield have announced dates for their first tour since splitting up in 1968. The group – featuring original members Neil Young , Stephen Stills and Richie Furay – are going to play a six-date California tour in early June, leading up to their set at Bonnaroo on June 11th. Young’s longtime bassist Rick Rosas will be taking the place of the late Bruce Palmer and Crosby, Stills and Nash drummer Joe Vitale is filling in for the late Dewey Martin.

“It’s hard to believe 42 years have passed since we played together as the Buffalo Springfield ,” Richie Furay said in a statement. “Over the years, music never stopped flowing from each of us, and it’s come ‘full circle,’ if you will.  And now, we get to share our hearts with you again — yes, Buffalo Springfield again!”

Last October the band performed two nights at Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit. “Before I got the call about the reunion I always told people there wasn’t any chance we’d ever reunite,” Furay told Rolling Stone shortly after the concerts. “Now I’m never going to say never again. We left with the idea that we can do this if we want to.” While no other dates have been announced beyond Bonnaroo and these six California shows, David Crosby recently told Rolling Stone that they are going to probably play more dates in the fall. Furay’s official website says that a tour is “slated for September.”

The group’s setlist at the Bridge School Benefit consisted of music from the group’s brief Sixties run – including “Bluebird,” “Rock and Roll Woman,” “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing,” “On The Way Home,” “I Am A Child,” “Mr. Soul” and their one big hit “For What It’s Worth.”

“We wound up doing the songs that flowed best,” said Furay. “I was thinking maybe about us doing Steven’s ‘Hot Dusty Roads’ from the first album or ‘Hung Upside Down’ [from 1967’s Buffalo Springfield Again ]. The ones we wound up doing certainly covered the spectrum of our music.”

Gillian Welch is going to open up the newly announced dates.

No. 75: Buffalo Springfield, ‘For What It’s Worth’ – Top 100 Classic Rock Songs

Despite the fact that they were only originally active for an approximate two year span (1966 to 1968), the impact of Buffalo Springfield 's song 'For What It's Worth' continues to resonate today, almost 50 years later.

And though Buffalo Springfield wrote many other memorable songs, none will ever outshine the impact of this powerful track. So of course we had to include it on our list of the Top 100 Classic Rock songs .

Released approximately 12 years into the Vietnam War, the song has often been interpreted to be an anti-war anthem, when in fact the track was originally written by Stephen Stills as a reaction to escalating unrest between City of Los Angeles law enforcement and club-goers on the Sunset Strip.

The unrest stemmed from law enforcement officers, bowing to pressure from both business owners and home owners in the area, chose to begin enforcing a strict 10:00 p.m. curfew that dated back to 1939 in efforts to curb the amount of people hanging out on the Strip.

The Los Angeles County board of supervisors decided that getting tough was the best tactic, and rescinded the "youth permits" of twelve of the clubs frequented by youth on the Sunset Strip, deeming them off-limits to anybody under 21 years of age.

The 'Sunset Strip riots' were born when the amount of youths arrested for violation of the 10:00 p.m. curfew began escalating. There were six consecutive weekends where youth and young adults protested the enforcement of the bylaw. However it was the first night that the demonstrations were held (Nov. 12, 1966) that saw the most damage done. Before the night was through, store windows had been smashed, a city bus disabled and more than 200 arrests were made.

'For What It's Worth' peaked at the No. 7 position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1967, and has since been covered by the likes of Keb Mo, Rush and Ozzy Osbourne . It has also been sampled by hip-hop group Public Enemy for their track ' He Got Game .'

Map shows states where fireworks are legal or illegal on July 4, 2024

By Emily Mae Czachor

Updated on: July 4, 2024 / 10:12 PM EDT / CBS News

Fireworks have become a staple of July Fourth celebrations across the United States, where towns and cities often host professional shows to mark the occasion each year. In some areas, smaller displays of less powerful fireworks pop up at private holiday parties. For people wondering where fireworks are legal —and where they're illegal— nationwide, here's what to know.

Full list of U.S. states where some fireworks are legal

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has banned several types of fireworks —like M-80s, cherry bombs and anything else that contains more than 50 milligrams of pyrotechnic material— at the federal level, but state and local regulations can be more complicated. To varying degrees, certain types of fireworks are legal in 49 states, plus Washington, D.C. 

Here's the full list:

• Connecticut
• Mississippi
• New Hampshire
• North Carolina
• North Dakota
• Pennsylvania
• Rhode Island
• South Carolina
• Washington, D.C.
• West Virginia

The one U.S. state where all private fireworks are illegal

Massachusetts is the only state in the U.S. where it is illegal to sell, use or otherwise possess fireworks of any kind as a private citizen. Many communities across the state  host public fireworks displays at their July Fourth celebrations . But without a license and permit, the statewide law prohibits fireworks of all kinds, including sparklers, firecrackers and any other comparable device that's been designed to produce "a visible or audible effect," according to the state government .

The fireworks show in Marblehead, Mass. was canceled because the fireworks barge caught fire in the early morning hours Thursday. No one was aboard the barge at the time and there were no injuries, officials said. 

"There was a fire on the barge in the middle of the night," organizers said in a statement. "The fire marshal won't allow our vendor to perform any fireworks until determination of how the barge was able to catch fire."  

The ban has existed since 1943 , when state legislators amended an earlier set of statutes that previously allowed civilians to buy, sell and use certain kinds of fireworks for displays. When they enacted the fireworks ban, it was among an overhaul of measures enacted in response to World War II, some of which were billed as "emergency" orders meant specifically to remain effective as long as there was a potential enemy threat. But the the consumer fireworks law stayed in place after the war.

Despite periodic calls from within Massachusetts to lift the ban, officials say it continues to be necessary and have ramped up enforcement in recent years because illegal fireworks are prevalent. Between 2013 and 2022, Massachusetts fire departments reported almost 1,000 fires linked to illegal fireworks displays, in addition to 47 injuries — the majority to firefighters — and $2.5 million in damages, according to the state .

States where some fireworks are legal but many are restricted

Numerous states and Washington, D.C., restrict the sale, possession and use of consumer fireworks, even though professional fireworks displays are allowed with the appropriate licenses and permits. Those states are:

Illinois and Vermont have stricter laws than the rest of the U.S. In those states, only sparklers and "novelty" smoke devices are up for sale to the general public. A "novelty" device is one that contains "small amounts of pyrotechnic and/or explosive composition" but does not technically meet requirements to be considered a consumer firework, according to the  American Pyrotechnic Association .

In  Illinois , novelties include snakes, glow worm pellets, smoke devices, party poppers, snappers, trick matches, and "other devices in which paper or plastic caps containing twenty-five hundredths grains or less of explosive compound are used," per the state law banning most consumer fireworks.

The laws are similar in Vermont, where certain sparklers and novelty devices are allowed, provided that the sparklers contain 20 grams or less of pyrotechnic materials and the novelties contain 0.25 grains or less of explosive mixture, according to the  Office of the State Fire Marshal .

States that let counties determine fireworks laws

Hawaii, Nevada and Wyoming allow counties to determine whether fireworks are legal or not within their individual jurisdictions, as well as which kinds of fireworks are allowed and exactly when and where people can buy, sell and use them. 

In Hawaii, concerns over public safety prompted legislators in 2010 to pass a law that gave counties the authority to set stricter regulations for consumer fireworks than the ones established at the state level. It allowed, for instance, the City and County of Honolulu to broadly prohibit the sale, possession and use of all consumer fireworks except fire crackers — which can be obtained with a permit. But the ordinance doesn't apply to other counties.

Similar laws have been passed by state legislatures in Nevada  and Wyoming to give local officials control over fireworks in their areas. In those states, consumer fireworks may be legal in one county and banned in another, and some counties restrict buying, selling and using fireworks to specific times on designated days of the year.

Even when consumer fireworks are generally regulated by the state, people may find themselves in a town or city in Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, Nevada or Ohio that has more stringent fireworks laws than its neighbors. And, in places like Illinois, setting off fireworks is only allowed in counties that have passed an ordinance to permit it, including on private property. 

What are non-aerial and non-explosive fireworks?

Most of the states where some but not all fireworks are legally accessible to civilians limit what's allowed to non-aerial and non-explosive fireworks only. Sometimes called "safe and sane" fireworks, these typically refer to devices that don't explode or fly. Because they contain lower amounts of combustible material than other fireworks, officials say they are also less likely to cause injuries or damage to property.

In wildfire-prone California, purchasing fireworks is illegal unless their packaging explicitly bears a "safe and sane" seal. A  fireworks education site operated by the California fire marshal's office lists sky rockets, bottle rockets, Roman candles, aerial shells and firecrackers as a few examples of fireworks that have been banned statewide in accordance with "safe and sane" standards, along with "other fireworks that explode, go into the air, or move on the ground in an uncontrollable manner." 

A growing number of California counties have outlawed fireworks altogether . Violators could faces fines and or jail time.

Why do some states ban certain fireworks?

Most states that place restrictions for civilians on the sale, possession and use of fireworks say the risks of injuries and property damages are their main reasons for doing so. In a number of those states, officials also cite the increased likelihood of wildfires sparking and potentially spreading in an area where fireworks have been set off. 

In California, as the weather remains hot and dry this week, fire officials are issuing warnings about the use of fireworks, which are illegal in several counties. At least two brush fires in the Bay Area may have been caused by illegal fireworks in the past few days. In San Francisco, all fireworks are illegal.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said it received reports of eight deaths and an estimated 9,700 injuries related to fireworks in 2023 alone. Of the eight deaths, five were associated with fireworks misuse, two with device malfunction and one was unknown.

How to report illegal fireworks

States and counties across the country encourage people to report any instances where they suspect illegal fireworks are involved, and many ask their residents to file those reports to their local fire departments or law enforcement agencies. People can also report illegal fireworks activity to a hotline at the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms , which is responsible for regulating all explosives, including fireworks.
