Brooks Road South – Island Delineators ⚠️

Changed traffic conditions are now in place on Brooks Road South, south of Natalie Drive. Motorists had been using the double yellow painted island to queue for turns onto Natalie Drive, creating unsafe driving conditions. Over the past several months, the Windsor Police Department has issued multiple warnings; however, the behavior has continued. To address the ongoing moving violations and improve safety, the Town has installed permanent delineators along the center island.

Fireworks – Leave it to the Professionals 🧑‍🚒

Sonoma County Fire District

As we approach the Fourth of July holiday, the Sonoma County Fire District would like to remind residents that all fireworks — including “safe and sane” fireworks — are illegal throughout Sonoma County, including within the Town of Windsor.

While fireworks are often associated with celebration and tradition, they pose a significant risk to our community, especially during the dry summer months when vegetation is highly susceptible to ignition. Even small fireworks such as sparklers, fountains, and firecrackers can quickly start grass fires, damage property, and cause serious injuries. California, including this beautiful county we live in, has experienced devastating wildfires that have threatened and taken lives, homes, and critical infrastructure, making fire prevention more important than ever.

Illegal fireworks also place an unnecessary burden on local emergency responders. Firefighters, law enforcement personnel, and dispatch centers experience a dramatic increase in calls during holiday periods due to fireworks-related fires, injuries, and complaints. By choosing not to use fireworks, residents help keep emergency resources available for true emergencies.

The Sonoma County Fire District encourages residents and visitors to celebrate responsibly by attending professional pyrotechnic displays conducted by licensed experts such as Kaboom held here in Windsor on July 3rd. These events are carefully planned with safety measures in place to protect both spectators and the surrounding community while still providing a memorable holiday experience.

This Independence Day, help protect Windsor and Sonoma County by leaving fireworks to the professionals. Together, we can celebrate safely while reducing the risk of wildfire and keeping our community safe.
