Police: Don't start new year with a bang
Menlo Park will enforce ban on fireworks and gunshots

The Menlo Park Police Department asks residents to comply with its "zero tolerance" policy on fireworks and gunshots on New Year's Eve.

Recklessly firing a gun counts as a felony under state law, while setting off or possessing fireworks can rack up a misdemeanor, according to the police, who will be taking reports of such illegal activity by phone at 330-6300.
