Message from Chief Dan- Fireworks Are Illegal
|
Summer has arrived and Fourth of July celebrations are just around the corner. I want to remind everyone that the use, possession, manufacture, and sale of fireworks is illegal in the both the City of Oakley and the County of Contra Costa. Every year across the country many people suffer serious injuries requiring medical treatment due to fireworks related mishaps. In some instances, the injuries are fatal. Don't risk your safety or the safety of your family believing that "It can't happen to you." As many of you may remember, in March of this year a local child was seriously injured by an unlawful firework that exploded in his hand. The danger is very real.
