Reporting illegal fireworks in the city of Riverside could get you a $1,000 reward.

The city will offer the incentive to encourage people to let officials know when they see or hear fireworks in their neighborhood. All fireworks are illegal in Riverside, and the city beefed up efforts this year to deter injuries, fires and noise that scares pets.

Those caught with fireworks can already face fines. The City Council voted Tuesday, June 27, to give $1,000 to people whose tips help the city find anyone using fireworks that cause injuries or property damage.

People who send in tips should be aware they may be asked to testify in court, officials said.

Fireworks can be reported by calling the city’s 311 line.
