The Division of Fire Safety is responsible for the enforcement of fireworks laws throughout Missouri.  Approximately 1,350 permits are issued yearly to manufacturers, wholesalers, jobbers, distributors, and retailers of fireworks.  In addition, the Division is responsible for conducting inspections of any facility involved with fireworks.  Each year, Division inspectors and investigators confiscate and destroy numerous illegal fireworks before they can reach the public and cause serious injury, death, and destruction.

Any person or company that is considered a manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, jobber, or seasonal retailer of fireworks, or someone who will conduct a special fireworks show, must receive a permit from the Missouri Division of Fire Safety.  Select the link on the left and print a copy of the fireworks application you need.
