Have A Fireworks Complaint? Don't Call 911
If you're annoyed by someone's fireworks display, don't call 911. Use these complaint lines instead.
PUYALLUP, WA - What do you do if your neighbor is lighting off bottle rockets at 1 a.m. and you're trying to sleep? You can certainly call the police, but just don't use 911 to do it.
South Sound 911 is reminding local residents to use the non-emergency phone numbers for fireworks complaints - that's anything related to being annoyed, kept awake, or, in the case of pets, frightened.
In Bonney Lake, Fife, Puyallup, Sumner, and Milton call (844) 821-8911. In all other parts of the county, call (253) 798-4721.
