City Connections: July 2, 2025

With high temperatures, low humidity, and early season fire activity, we urge Santa Rosa residents and visitors to make safe choices and NOT use fireworks when celebrating the Fourth of July this year. Experience fireworks safely by attending a professional fireworks show. Regardless of the allure and nostalgia of fireworks, remember that ALL fireworks are illegal in Santa Rosa and the surrounding unincorporated areas. We urge those who are planning to use fireworks to STOP and safely dispose of fireworks or forfeit them to a fire or police station. Enforcement teams from both the police and fire departments will be patrolling areas and will cite individuals violating the City's fireworks ban, which includes fines. Using or possessing dangerous fireworks can result in a citation, additional fines, or an arrest, but please don't let it get to that point.
