HOW TO REPORT ILLEGAL FIREWORKS IN JEFFCO – PLEASE DO NOT CALL 911

JEFFERSON COUNTY CO – Jefferson County Communications Center Authority (Jeffcom911) is urging residents to NOT dial 9-1-1 for reporting illegal fireworks, except in cases of injury or fire that threaten life or property.

Citizens are strongly encouraged to download the Jeffcom911 phone app to report illegal fireworks. Simply download the app and click the “Report Fireworks” button to submit a report that goes directly to emergency dispatchers at Jeffcom911. This will help reduce the volume of calls received by Jeffcom’s limited staff over the holiday and eliminate any wait times residents will experience while holding in queue for the next available staff member. Online reporting is also available to residents at www.Jeffcom911.org .

“This is a new feature added to our app just to help address the high volume of fireworks reports we receive every year ” said Jeff Streeter, Jeffcom 911 Executive Director. “This is a great tool that will allow residents to report directly in our systems without waiting on hold, which is a significant customer service enhancement from previous years.” Residents will continue to have the option to call the fireworks hotline this year at (303) 980-7340.
