Put the message where people can see it.

All fireworks are illegal in Los Angeles. Don’t be next.

Illegal fireworks do not just affect the person holding the fuse. They put homes, families, pets, streets, and entire neighborhoods at risk.

A MySafe:LA anti-fireworks sign is a simple way to make your position clear before fireworks season begins.

Download the free sign. Print it. Post it. Share the message.

The new message is direct:

ALL FIREWORKS ARE ILLEGAL IN LOS ANGELES

They injure. They kill. They start fires. DON’T BE NEXT.

This year’s campaign moves away from soft reminders and focuses on consequences. The sign is designed to be easy to read from the street, easy to understand, and hard to ignore.

Why signs matter

A sign helps set the expectation.

A yard sign tells your block:

A sign may not stop every firework, but it can help change the culture of fireworks in Los Angeles — one street, one block, and one neighborhood at a time.

1. Download your free sign artwork

Choose the size that works best for your yard, window, fence, or community space.

Once you have your artwork proceed to step number 2.

2. Print your sign

You may print the artwork through FedEx Office, a local print shop, a neighborhood printer, or any vendor that produces yard signs.

For outdoor placement, ask for a weather-resistant yard sign with a stake. For apartment buildings, businesses, schools, and community spaces, consider a window poster or wall sign.

3. Place it where it can be seen

Place your sign where it is visible from the street, sidewalk, driveway, or building entrance.

Good locations include:

  • Front yards.
  • Fences.
  • Apartment lobby windows.
  • Community bulletin boards.
  • Business windows.
  • School or neighborhood group display areas.

Do not place signs where they block visibility for drivers, sidewalks, wheelchair access, emergency access, or public rights-of-way.

Make it bigger than one sign.

One sign sends a message. A block full of signs sends a stronger one.

Ask neighbors, renters, property managers, schools, houses of worship, neighborhood councils, and local businesses to download the sign and post it before fireworks activity begins.

The more visible the message, the harder it is to ignore:

All fireworks are illegal in Los Angeles.

They injure. They kill. They start fires.

Don’t be next.

Do not confront people using fireworks.

A sign is a safety message — not an invitation to argue with people who are using illegal fireworks.

Do not put yourself, your family, or your neighbors at risk. If fireworks are being used, document the activity safely through F/X Reporter. If there is a fire, injury, or immediate danger, call 911.
