2020 FIREWORKS:
“Celebrate- Safe and Sane this Independence Day”
As the City of Dixon prepares for the upcoming July Fourth Holiday, the Dixon Fire Department wants to remind citizens and visitors to use their fireworks in a safe and sane manner.
The Fire Department also wants to remind people that ONLY safe and sane fireworks have been legalized for sale and use in the City limits, with the exception of any city owned property including parks, parking lots, etc. Any fireworks that do not have the Fire Marshal seal of approval, or any fireworks that leave the ground or explode, are dangerous and illegal. The use of safe and sane fireworks are only permitted June 28th at 12:00pm – July 6th 11:00pm. Fines are as follows: $500 for the first offense, then $750, then $1000.
Safe and sane fireworks can be dangerous if misused or altered from their original form. Every year there are documented cases of injuries and fires started by the use of safe and sane fireworks. With more fires breaking out in California each year, doing more and more damage, please consider whether the choices you make are worth the potential unwanted/unintended outcome.
The Fire Department encourages citizens to prepare and celebrate safely; only adults should use fireworks and they should have a hose or bucket of water ready to cool off the used fireworks; make sure children are supervised at all times; be cautious when in the street; never throw fireworks in the air. Additionally, you should not use fireworks in or near dry vegetation, or near any buildings. Report all emergencies by calling 9-1-1.
