Fireworks Task Force Reinstated

 

Operations to Begin June 18, 2021

Providence, RI (June 16th, 2021)...In May of this year, Councilwoman Jo-Ann Ryan introduced a resolution to reinstate the City's Fireworks Task Force. After the successful roll out of a fireworks task force in 2020, Councilwoman Ryan has coordinated with the Providence Police Department and Fire Department for another year of fireworks safety and enforcement.

Starting on June 18th, the task force will dedicate over a dozen law enforcement officers to respond to calls involving fireworks, and provide community education on how to report violations of the law and how to assist in the identification of locations where fireworks were being discharged..
