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.'
