Fireworks are Illegal in the City of Riverside
10 videos • 308 views • by CityofRiverside The City of Riverside is reminding residents that all fireworks are illegal within the city limits, and anyone found using illegal fireworks is subject to a $1,500 fine. Riverside has been working for several years to reduce the usage of fireworks in the city. Fireworks cause injuries in adults and children, spark fires that can endanger firefighters and the public, create stress for veterans with PTSD, and terrify many animals. The City continually promotes an anti-fireworks message in hopes that residents will refrain from purchasing fireworks when they become available in neighboring counties shortly before the holiday. The City has sent warning letters to people who have been cited in the past and to addresses identified as fireworks sites. Calls to 311 regarding specific addresses where fireworks are being used can be made anonymously. Report to Riverside Police Department non-emergency: (951) 354-2007 or 311 App www.RiversideCA.gov/311 (951) 826-5311 Phone Hours: Mon - Fri 7:00 am - 6:00 pm Sat 8:00am - 1:00pm Sun CLOSED For imminent threats and emergencies, dial 911.
