Fourth of July is an exciting and colorful holiday for many people nationwide, but can be especially dangerous in a hot and dry climate, such as the Golden State.
In San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, there are several places where "safe and sane" fireworks are allowed. Other fireworks not permitted by the state are illegal everywhere.
But where can you set those off? Some areas have specific times and places, while others have minimal restrictions. In most cases, police will be roaming the city to shut down anything they deem as "unsafe" fireworks.
