(b)

Except as hereinafter provided, it shall be unlawful for any person to possess, store, to offer for sale, expose for sale, sell at retail or use or explode any fireworks in the unincorporated area of the county, provided that the chief shall have power to adopt reasonable public displays of fireworks by a jurisdiction, fair association, amusement park, other organizations or for the use of fireworks by artisans in pursuit of their trade. Every such use or display shall be handled by a competent operator approved by the chief and shall be of character and so located, discharged or fired so as in the opinion of the chief, after proper investigation, not to be hazardous to property or endanger any person(s).

After such privilege shall be granted, sale, possession, use and distribution of fireworks for such display shall be lawful for that purpose only. No permit granted hereunder shall be transferable.
