There were over 35 illegal fireworks violations that were identified in the City of Action over the Fourth of July weekend and each one will receive a $1,000 fine. Riverbank Police Services had four dedicated deputies along with a supervisor to enforce the City’s illegal fireworks ordinance from Saturday through Monday.

RPS Chief Ed Ridenour stated that the number of illegal fireworks violations were “about the same” as last year.

He added, “I thought our deputies did as well as they could considering the overwhelming amount of illegal fireworks on the Fourth of July.”
