The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office encourages you to welcome in the New Year in a safe and responsible manner.

We want to remind you that celebrating the New Year with celebratory gunfire is potentially deadly and against the law.  In short, don’t do it.  Remember that what goes up, must come down.  When a gun is fired in the air, there is no way to determine where that bullet will come down.  Those stray bullets can easily injure or kill innocent bystanders.  

Be smart and stay safe!
