I would like to open a fireworks retail stand this season. What do I need to do?

The Office of the State Fire Marshal does not issue permits for retail stands. This is left up to the local jurisdiction. To be in compliance with state law you need the following:

  • You need to purchase your fireworks from a distributor who holds a Kansas permit. The distributor should be able to provide you with their permit number.
  • An inventory at each retail stand showing what you started off with and the distributor with a Kansas permit from whom it was purchased.
  • We have adopted National Fire Protection Agency 1124 which deals with the technical aspects of the retail stands. You can get your own copy directly from the agency's website.
