| San Bruno and Pacifica fireworks booths every year |
.... Remember, safe and sane fireworks are only allowed in two cities — San Bruno and Pacifica. Booths selling fireworks are up and open for business. Items purchased from the booths benefiting local nonprofits need to be used in one of those two cities only.
In Pacifica, the City Council recently accepted recommendations from the Fireworks Task Force Committee to limit the use of fireworks on Linda Mar Beach to an area extending about 10 feet east of the tideline and north of the Taco Bell to the north end of the Linda Mar Beach parking lot. There are two alternative sites being provided for setting off fireworks — the asphalt areas of the south Linda Mar Beach parking lot and the south Rockaway Beach parking lot. Fireworks are not allowed on any other beach areas in Pacifica.
Both cities increase enforcement for the holiday. Possession of
fireworks other than those deemed as “safe and sane” is illegal. There
is a zero tolerance policy toward those possessing illegal fireworks.
Those individuals are subject to arrest and a $1,000 administrative
fine." Read article.
