The countdown to the 4th of July is on!

SCFD wants to remind everyone in Windsor to do their part in preventing fires and injuries caused by fireworks. FIREWORKS of ANY KIND, including “Safe & Sane” and sparklers, are ILLEGAL in the Town of Windsor, the Sonoma County Fire District, and all of unincorporated Sonoma County!

Fireworks are dangerous and can trigger stress for Veterans, fire survivors, and pets. We recommend attending one of the spectacular professional shows happening around the county, such as our favorite right here at Keiser Park.

Join us at KABOOM on the 3^rd for the SAFE and ENJOYABLE Fourth of July festivities! Leave it to the pros and enjoy the show!

The Town of Windsor takes great pride in providing high-quality drinking water to the residents and businesses in our community. The Town consistently tests drinking water quality to comply with all State and Federal regulations.
