Fireworks Are Illegal in Seattle But Don’t Call 9-1-1

This message comes to us from our Crime Prevention Coordinator, Terrie Johnston:

“Please remember that fireworks are not legal in the City of Seattle.  The 4th of July is perhaps the busiest day of the year for our 9-1-1 Communications Center.  The Comm. Ctr. becomes overloaded by non-emergency fireworks calls.  So only for July 4th , DO NOT call 9-1-1 unless you have life threatening emergency and need immediate response from Police, Fire or Medics.  You may use our non-emergency line to report Firework violations at 625-5011.”

Have a safe and happy holiday!

    With so many old and out-dated postings at this site, it is becoming more and more difficult to find actual “news”, not to mention time-consuming.

    Claire, please look into using RSS software, such as Google Reader.

    The weekly email will always be ill timed for some postings.
