The Maui Police Department would like to wish the community a safe and Happy 4th of July. With the current hot and dry summer conditions, it's crucial to prevent fires and injuries by being mindful of the dangers of fireworks and our surroundings.

Remember, it is illegal to import, transfer, sell, or use aerial fireworks without a permit. The law establishes criminal liability for a homeowner, renter, or person responsible for real property who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly allows an individual to possess, set off, ignite, or cause to explode any aerial device while on the real property. It also sets criminal penalties, which can constitute a Class C felony, a misdemeanor, and fines up to $2,000.

The Maui Police Department appreciates continued assistance from the community in reporting violations. Witness statements, photographs, and video recordings documenting the offense that can be authenticated by one or more witnesses are sufficient when officers arrive on the scene.

To report a firework violation, please call the non-emergency number at (808) 244-6400.

As a reminder, consumer fireworks can only be legally ignited from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 4, 2024.
