Fourth of July Holiday and Fireworks
By Gazette Staff Writers — Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024
The Fillmore Police Department encourages citizens to rejoice and celebrate over the Fourth of July weekend responsibly and with consideration for the safety of all members of the public and their respective property. With the anticipated increase of the city’s population during the festivities, in addition to the inherent dangers associated with illegal fireworks, the Fillmore Police Department will have extra patrol deputies on patrol throughout the city over the holiday weekend. The Fillmore Police Department wants to remind community members of the following information pertaining to illegal fireworks and the fines associated with these crimes: “Safe and Sane” fireworks, bearing the seal of the State Fire Marshal, can be legally sold, possessed, and enjoyed within the city limits of Fillmore between 12:00 PM, June 28th, and 12:00 PM, July 5th. Violators may also be cited for violating city municipal codes and are subject to a $1000.00 fine. Fillmore residents can also remain anonymous and report illegal firework activity by calling the City of Fillmore’s fireworks hotline at (805) 524-1500, extension 350. The City of Fillmore does not condone the use of illegal fireworks at any time, or the use of safe and sane fireworks outside the designated dates and times noted above. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank members of the public for their ongoing support and due diligence in providing information to assist our agency. We are better at what we do because of our community partnerships. Nature of Incident: Fourth of July Holiday and Fireworks Prepared by: Sergeant Jarrod Foote |
