Neighborhood Safety

This announcement should serve as a reminder and resource for those facing safety concerns in the neighborhood. Specifically, we would like to point to resources that clearly state fireworks are illegal in Washington DC. There are many ways to celebrate events or accomplishments without disturbing, destructive or illegal acts.

As always, thank you for keeping your neighbors’ safety and well being in mind. Reach out to us here, 1b@anc.dc.gov, with any questions.
