While fireworks can be sold in Beaufort County, it’s illegal to discharge them without a permit from the S.C. Department of Labor, License and Regulation.
In unincorporated parts of the county — as well as in the city of Beaufort and towns of Port Royal, Bluffton and Hilton Head Island — lighting fireworks can result in fines up to $500.
Please if this happens contact the Bluffton Police 843-524-2777 and report the incident.
If you are interested in keeping our community safe contact me at firedawg62@me.com about being on the Security Committee.
