Think twice before you light it

As Independence Day approaches, the Hemet Police Department is reminding the community that all fireworks are illegal in the City of Hemet, under Ordinance No. 1850. This includes possession, sale, use, or distribution of any fireworks, safe and sane or otherwise.

Every year, our Communications Center is flooded with hundreds of complaints related to illegal fireworks, ranging from excessive noise and property damage to frightened pets and veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress. Fireworks not only disrupt neighborhoods but also pose serious risks of fire, injury, and death.
