# Kaslo fireworks rules

**Question:** Are fireworks allowed in Kaslo?

**Short answer:** In Kaslo, the Noise Control Bylaw bans discharging a firecracker or explosive device anywhere in the Village. The Outdoor Burning Bylaw's fireworks rules could not be read, so no official text says when consumer fireworks are permitted. Tickets run from $250 to $1,000. Ask the Village Office.

**Cost:** Tickets: $250 to $1,000, depending on the offence.
