Those are really minor and I don't see anyone calling the police on you for such a thing.  But here is the law on fireworks.

ARTICLE 2.

FIREWORKS*

Editor's note--Ord. No. NS-300.734, § 1, adopted October 5, 2004, amended the Code by adding provisions designated as a new Art. 2, §§ A33-60--A33-64. See also the Code Comparative Table.

Sec. A33-60. State definitions adopted.

For purposes of this article, all words not herein defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them as under the State Fireworks Law (Health and Safety Code Section 12500 et seq.) and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(Ord. No. NS-300.734, § 1, 10-5-04)

Sec. A33-61. Prohibition on sale, use or discharge of fireworks without permit.

The sale, use, possession or discharge of any fireworks or pyrotechnic devices, including but not limited to "safe and sane" fireworks, anywhere within the unincorporated area of the County of Santa Clara is prohibited unless otherwise allowed by this article.

(Ord. No. NS-300.734, § 1, 10-5-04)

Sec. A33-62. Permits.

The Fire Marshal may issue a permit for the use or discharge of fireworks and pyrotechnic devices only where the persons in charge of the display have obtained a license from the State Fire Marshal for a public display or special effects. The application, investigation and decision process shall be as follows:

(a) Application. All applications shall include the following:

(1) The name of the person or organization sponsoring the proposed activities;

(2) A full description of all proposed activities;

(3) The date and time of day the proposed activities would occur;

(4) The exact location of the activities;

(5) The size and number of all fireworks to be involved in the proposed activities, including the number of set pieces, shells and other items. Shells shall be designated by diameter specifying single, multiple break or salute;

(6) The manner and place of storage of all fireworks;

(7) A diagram of the grounds on which the activities are proposed to occur showing all points at which fireworks are proposed to be stored or discharged, the location of all buildings, roads, and other means of transportation to and from the site, the lines behind which the audience will be restrained, and the location of all nearby trees, telegraph or telephone lines and other overhead obstructions;

(8) Documentary proof of conformance with the insurance requirements of Health and Safety Code sections 12610 and 12611;

(9) A license from the State Fire Marshal for the public display of fireworks or special effects; and

(10) The name and license number of the wholesaler(s) supplying all items used in the display.

(b) Investigation. When evaluating whether a permit should be granted, the Fire Marshal shall evaluate the following:

(1) Whether the proposed activity will be of such character or so located that it may be hazardous to property or dangerous to any person.

(2) Whether the activity will comply with all requirements of the California Fire Code, and the State Fireworks Law (Health and Safety Code Section 12500 et seq.) and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Grant or denial. The Fire Marshal shall exercise reasonable discretion to either grant or deny the permit, and may impose any conditions he or she deems necessary or appropriate to ensure there is no adverse impact to the public health, safety or general welfare.

(Ord. No. NS-300.734, § 1, 10-5-04)

A final decision of the Fire Marshal to grant or deny a permit may be appealed to the Board of Supervisors.

Sec. A33-64. Compliance with other federal, state and county laws and regulations.

In addition to obtaining a permit from the Fire Marshal, any use or discharge of any fireworks and pyrotechnic devices shall comply with all other applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. The issuance of a permit from the Fire Marshal pursuant to this Article shall not obviate the need for a permit for an entertainment event if such a permit is required pursuant to Chapter VI, Division B3 of this Code.

Answer 4

Since this is the "Dinning Out" section, I'd have to say no.

Santa Clara County has laws against smoking in restaurants.

Sparklers and especially snakes put off a lot of smoke so they would not be allowed. -lol
