Where can I report if I suspect someone has or is trading illegal fireworks?

The trade and storage of consumer-prohibited fireworks creates life-threatening situations. Often, it is stored in homes, sheds, warehouses, or vehicles, putting neighbors at risk of explosion hazards. The force of the explosion can be so great that it can seriously injure someone. Possessing consumer-prohibited fireworks is illegal and can have serious consequences, such as a criminal record.

If you suspect that prohibited consumer fireworks are being illegally stored, traded, or transported somewhere, report it to the police, this can also be done anonymously.
