On June 30, City Manager Karena Shackelford shared a comprehensive update with the community about the City of Fremont’s finances following the adoption of our $392.4 million Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/26, approved by the Fremont City Council on June 10.
July 8 Council Meeting at 7:00 pm
Attend next week’s City Council meeting on Tuesday, July 7, 2025, which begins at 7:00 pm at City Hall, 3300 Capitol Ave. Visit our Agenda Center for additional details. The complete meeting agenda will be posted later this week.
All fireworks are banned in the City of Fremont, including those labeled as “safe and sane.” This ban, in place since 1986, has helped reduce injuries, wildland fires, and structure fires caused by fireworks.
Fremont Police and Fremont Fire will be actively patrolling during peak times to monitor fireworks use and reduce fire risk, especially along the hillsides. Possession or use of illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor in California, punishable by fines ranging from $1,000 to $50,000 or by imprisonment in a state prison or county jail. In some cases, it may be charged as a felony. Parents can also be held liable for damages or injuries caused by their children.
Due to an anticipated high call volume during the holiday, please only dial 911 for a true or potential emergency. To report a non-emergency, please call (510) 790-6800, option 3.
From 4:00 pm on July 4 through 2:00 am on July 5, community members are encouraged to report illegal firework activities via the Fremont App. Reports with specific details such as address, description, and potential safety hazards will receive higher priority. For details on how to download the app and for more info please visit: fremontpolice.gov/fireworks
