City of Tacoma officials reminds residents all fireworks are illegal within the Tacoma city limits. Violators of the fireworks law are subject to a fine and the confiscation of their fireworks. Most fireworks violations are class 2 civil infractions and can result in a $257 fine; citizens using fireworks are still subject to arrest for other charges (i.e. arson, reckless burning, and assault). Fireworks are only permissible within city limits when a permit has been issued for a sanctioned public event. Citizens can report fireworks violations from July 1 to July 6 by calling (253) 798-4722. If the fireworks violation appears to put people or property in immediate danger, call 911. The Tacoma Police Department will have special enforcement patrols and regular patrols to respond to fireworks related calls. For more information about fireworks safety, burn prevention and local Fourth of July events, visit http://www.cityoftacoma.org or call the Tacoma Fire Prevention and Preparedness Bureau at (253) 591-5740.
