The Redwood City Council has called on its citizens to avoid the use of fireworks and thereby become subject to fines that can reach 50 thousand dollars, jail time and serious injuries to themselves and others who may be hit by one of the devices.
And, he said, like other cities across the state, Redwood City has increasingly seen commercial-grade fireworks being transported and used illegally.
These, he clarified, are not flares or fireworks.
