Northern California police issue $120,000 fine for illegal fireworks
To combat illegal fireworks throughout the area, the WPD warned that each illegal firework will result in a $1,000 fine or arrest. Additionally, the agency activated an anonymous tip line for reporting individuals who use illegal fireworks.
'We understand it's difficult to report a neighbor,' WPD said. 'You may not want to cause conflict, but the noise, risk of fire and danger to people, pets and property can't be ignored.'
When a report is made, police said a courtesy door hanger will be delivered to the responsible household. The hanger will inform the household that they have been reported for illegal firework use.
WPD said that illegal fireworks pose safety risks to the community and issuing fines is the best way to reduce their usage. To report illegal fireworks in Woodland, snitches can use the 'Nail 'Em' App or email fireworks@cityofwoodland.gov.
