Roseville increases penalties for illegal fireworks

Illegal fireworks carry many risks, including injury, property damage, safety of first responders, costs of responding to emergencies, environmental harm and legal consequences.

In May 2024, the Roseville City Council amended the municipal code, making penalties for those who use illegal fireworks much more severe starting this year.

Penalties for illegal fireworks include stiffer fines, more severe legal consequences, liability for the cost of emergency response and additional responsibility of property owners who knowingly allow the use or storage of illegal fireworks on their property.

Tips to stay cool in hot temperatures

With the continued hot temperature, here are some tips to keep cool and stay safe:

• Drink plenty of water (2-4 glasses of water every hour if you are physically active and out in direct heat).
• Wear lightweight, light colored loose fitting clothing as well as a hat and sunglasses when outdoors.
• Always apply sunscreen and limit exposure during mid-day.
• When participating in outdoor activities, do so with a buddy and pace yourself in the heat.
• Always monitor those at risk for heat related illnesses especially those on medications for heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. as they may be affected more by the heat.
• Never leave children, infants or pets inside vehicles.
• Provide pets with plenty of water and shade.

Cockroaches emerge in the heat

As temperatures rise, you may have seen an increase in cockroaches. They become more active in warm weather and are often found in garages or inside homes, typically seeking water.

Our Wastewater Division is actively working to reduce cockroach infestations, as these pests are found in our sewer system. We remain persistent in our treatment process to reduce cockroach populations, understanding that they are only a step away from your home.
