Countywide Response to Public Complaints About Fireworks

The jury reviews complaint documentation, enforcement, education, drone use and local host-liability rules. Twelve findings and five recommendations seek ordinances and interagency coordination. Fillmore’s limited safe-and-sane exception is not general permission to use fireworks elsewhere. Complaint counts vary across agencies and years; missing data are not zero complaints, and the tables do not establish a uniform year-by-year trend. Drone proposals remain subject to privacy and operational constraints. The report’s title describes public complaints, not a final agency response. None is supplied.
