 FREE NO FIREWORKS LAWN SIGNS
In an effort to curb the use of illegal fireworks in Redwood City, lawn signs are available for pick-up at the Downtown Library. If you are coming for Curbside Pickup or drop-off, look for the free signs in front of the bookdrop. Feel free to grab one and spread the word!
Fourth of July is just around the corner, and although it will look different this year due to COVID-19, fireworks are still illegal. Using personal fireworks could lead to fires, personal harm, or other emergencies. Please help protect our community and your safety. Learn more at www.redwoodcity.org/nofireworks
