Community Events/Information


Fourth of July

To celebrate this holiday as safely as possible, we want to remind you that fireworks are illegal in Daly City. This includes the “safe and sane” types that are sold in nearby cities. On the days leading up to each 4th of July, as well as the actual day and after, fireworks are one of the biggest causes of fires and injuries throughout the United States. Let’s keep our City safe and free from any potential disasters—the potential for fires is enormous.

The Daly City Police Department personnel will be on an enforcement detail looking for people using fireworks. People in possession of or using any fireworks will be subject to a citation/arrest by an officer. This includes fireworks that are purchased from another city. People who choose to shoot guns into the air will be booked into the San Mateo County Jail.

For pets and some people, especially Veterans suffering from PTSD, this is a very scary day. The loud firework noises scare the pets and for the veterans, the sounds may bring back traumatic memories. Please do what you can to make sure everyone stays indoors and stays comfortable.

In California, it is a misdemeanor to possess illegal fireworks. This could be punishable by a fine of not less than $500, and no more than $1,000 or by imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year. The Daly City Police Department takes this very seriously. In addition, parents may be held liable for any damages or injuries caused by their children’s use of illegal fireworks.

We know there will be illegal fireworks, and we do try our best to respond to all requests of fireworks use. When reporting illegal fireworks, please do NOT call 911, but instead use the police business line (650) 991-8119. Tying up 911 lines for non-emergencies, especially with the volume of calls on July 4th, places lives in danger.

Please act responsibly and plan ahead. Various events throughout the Bay Area to celebrate our nation’s holiday can be found here: https://patch.com/california/san-francisco/july-4th-guide-fireworks-parades-more-2019-sf-bay-area
