Fireworks are Fire Hazards

Did you know illegal fireworks are the number one non-emergency priority for Moreno Valley Police?   Last year, the Police Department and Code Enforcement Officers issued 83 citations totaling nearly $138,000 in fines. Officers are patrolling on the ground and in the air looking for illegal fireworks. Those caught with illegal fireworks can face fines of up to $3,500.   This Fourth of July, leave fireworks to the professionals.   To report illegal fireworks in your neighborhood, visit moval.org/fireworks or call 951.247.8700.
