Reporting Illegal Fireworks

Posted on by Alan Chan

With the summer holidays approaching, the warmer weather, fire season, and school drawing to a close there will undoubtedly be people with more time on their hands. Often, it ends with mischievous behavior, if not outright illegal. One of the prevalent problems facing our community is the repeated use of fireworks. Fireworks in the City of San Jose are illegal!

Many in the community worked tirelessly with the City and law enforcement agencies to update the City’s laws and enforcement policies regarding the use of illegal fireworks.

The city is taking a slightly different approach this year.  They are requesting to NOT report illegal fireworks via the police emergency or non-emergency phone numbers. Instead, they updated their 311 app to allow quicker and more efficient reporting of illegal fireworks.

    • Use of the app in anonymous mode results only in data collection for trouble spots around the city, and no citations issued.
    • However, if you log in to the 311 app, code enforcement will be notified and citations issued to the offending party
