Personal Fireworks Are Illegal
PERSONAL FIREWORKS ILLEGAL IN BIG BEAR VALLEY
From Big Bear Lake Fire Department:
Personal fireworks are illegal throughout Big Bear Valley, including “safe and sane” fireworks. In addition, all fireworks that explode, shoot into the air or move along the ground are termed dangerous and are illegal anywhere in California.
From San Bernardino County Fire Protection District:
Possession of any type of fireworks, including “safe and sane” fireworks, is against the law in any unincorporated area of San Bernardino County. In the event a fire occurs due to the unsafe use of fireworks, the responsible persons are likely to face criminal charges and be held liable for damages.

Wildfire Hazards & Prevention
CAMPFIRES PROHIBITED OUTSIDE DESIGNATED AREAS
San Bernardino National Forest prohibits campfires outside of agency-provided fire rings at designated sites. Remember that regulations governing campfires are specific to each National Forest. Campfires may only be started within:
- Developed Campgrounds (i.e. Serrano, Holcomb Valley, etc.)
- Yellow Post Sites with a provided fire ring
It is illegal to build a fire while camping remotely or outside of the above mentioned areas.
Additional restrictions will be implemented as fire danger increases, always check with the local Ranger Station before heading out to your site.
A citation for violating fire restrictions prompts a mandatory court appearance. It is a federal offense punishable as a Class B misdemeanor, by a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization, or imprisonment for not more than six (6) months or both.
