Fireworks Illegal in Washoe County | Reno News

Fireworks are officially banned in Washoe County—no exceptions—and authorities are cracking down hard this holiday weekend due to dangerous dry conditions. Violators face up to $1,000 fines and six months in jail per offense, including parents caught letting kids use them. You could also be liable for wildfire cleanup costs. Fire Chief Richard Edwards warns one spark could ignite a wildfire, while Sheriff Darin Balaam says deputies will be patrolling to enforce the law. And if you’ve got fireworks, don’t panic—take them to a local fire station for safe, legal disposal. Stay safe, stay legal. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
