As a rule of thumb, "dangerous" fireworks can be described as sky rockets, bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial shells, firecrackers and other types that explode, go into the air, or move on the ground in an uncontrollable manner.
Fines for illegal firework use can be up to $1,000 and/or 6 months in jail
