Corpus Christi Police Officers working in coordination with Corpus Christi Fire Fighters will be providing firework enforcement beginning today through the New Year.

Officers will be making traffic stops for the Fire Department on vehicles suspected of travelling into the city limits with fireworks from firework stands. 

Both Officers and the Fire Department will be issuing citations for the firework violations.  Violators can be fined up to $2,000.00 per firework.

The confiscated fireworks will be disposed of in a bomb squad approved container at an unnamed location.

For further information, please contact Corpus Christi Fire Department Captain James Brown who will be the lead contact person for the operation.
