Santa Clara PD uses humor to remind people what not to call 911 for over the holiday weekend — a lighthearted public service announcement that sticks.


They say:

Every year before the 4th of July, we get lots of calls like, “I heard fireworks… somewhere.” We hear them too, but without a location, there’s not much we can do. Calling 911 for fireworks ties up emergency lines needed for real emergencies.

Reminder: amateur fireworks are illegal in Santa Clara, that includes the small ones, the “safe” ones, and the ones you bought from that random roadside stand years ago.

Please don’t call 911 unless it’s a real emergency like a fire or injury. To report fireworks with an exact location, call 408-615-5580. Hold times may be longer on the 4th since it’s one of our busiest days.

Let the pros handle the fireworks. Your neighbors, pets, and firefighters will thank you.
