June 29, 2012 > Newark fireworks hotline Newark fireworks hotline Submitted By Newark PD Historically the Newark Police Department is very busy on July 4th responding to a high volume of service calls relating to the use of ILLEGAL fireworks. To help ease the influx of calls expected on this date, a "Fireworks Hotline" has once again been established. Please use this number to report ILLEGAL fireworks use. The hotline will be staffed with personnel specifically to take these types of calls. This hot line is set up so that Public Safety Dispatchers can have free lines open for other emergency communication and calls for service. So if you witness ILLEGAL fireworks on July 4, 2012 please use the Fireworks Hotline at 866/520-7233. Prior to this date please use the non-emergency line of 578-4237. Please have a safe and enjoyable Independence Day celebration! Fireworks Hotline 866/520-7233
