With new year celebrations kicking off, San Bernardino County Fire is again reminding residents that possession and use of any type of fireworks, including “safe and sane” fireworks, is illegal in all unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County, as well as the entire Morongo Basin. Users may face criminal charges, fines of up to $1,250, and be held liable for damages in the likely event a fire or injury occurs due to the illegal use of fireworks. Ernest Figueroa says the county has a system to help county residents report illegal fireworks…
The Illegal Firework Reporting System through San Bernardino County Fire offers another source for the public to report the use and sales of illegal fireworks. Once a complaint has been filed, local law enforcement will be notified for follow-up and investigation. It only takes a few minutes and reporters can remain anonymous. Links to the reporting system are available below. Over the past four years, county fire investigators have confiscated over 121,600 pounds of dangerous and illegal fireworks and issued more than 700 citations.
The new reporting system is located on the SBC Fire website at https://bit.ly/3wzJRFW or directly at https://bit.ly/3wunDoS.
