Summary
Renton police are cracking down hard on illegal fireworks this Fourth of July, deploying drones to hunt down violators after voters banned them — and it’s the top complaint every year. Just days ago, officers responded to a mortar blast at Ron Regis Park, tracked two suspects into the woods via drone, and eventually impounded a car containing 16 large fireworks after a tense standoff. With drones patrolling all weekend, police warn: don’t light up the sky illegally — or face a tow, a ticket, and the real danger of fire and injury.
