Santa Rosa’s Fire Chief and Chief of Police have issued a joint statement urging citizens to not use fireworks. Remember: all fireworks are illegal in Santa Rosa as well as the surrounding unincorporated areas. Anyone considering using fireworks is urged to STOP and safely dispose of fireworks or forfeit them to a fire or police station. Enforcement teams from both the police and fire departments will be patrolling areas and will cite individuals violating the City’s fireworks ban which includes fines. The use of dangerous fireworks or possession of them can result in a citation, additional fines, or an arrest.
