REPORTING ILLEGAL FIREWORKS

Residents are urged NOT to call 911 to report illegal fireworks. It is important to keep 911 free for life-threatening emergencies. Instead, illegal fireworks complaints can be reported online at www.ISpyFireworks.com. The information will collect data about where illegal fireworks are being ignited to plan future law enforcement actions.

The public may call 311, the police non-emergency number, to report illegal fireworks usage complaints but may not result in a police dispatch due to the need to prioritize emergency responses. The use of illegal fireworks is a community problem, and we appreciate your support in reporting complaints to the ISpyFireworks website.

HELP SPREAD THE WORD

If you're tired of the illegal fireworks and want to help, please share on social media using the hashtag #YouLightItWeWriteIt. Encourage others to report the use of illegal fireworks at www.ISpyFireworks.com. Together, we can stop the proliferation of illegal fireworks and hopefully put an end to the injuries and fires.
