Travel, traffic updates for New Year’s weekend

Travel and weather updates from across the state throughout the holiday weekend.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public to use the non-emergency line to report fireworks violations instead of calling 911. 

Via a Twitter post, the Sheriff’s Office encouraged people to call the non-emergency line at 602-876-1011. 

The Sheriff’s Office said an influx of 911 calls for fireworks could delay responses for anyone dealing with a real emergency. 

Meanwhile, for residents who own a pet, the Arizona Humane Society encourages owners to avoid fireworks trauma by staying mindful of their animal’s whereabouts at all times and not leaving them unattended outside.
