Some RestrictionsFireworks
All fireworks are illegal in the City of Eastvale. Eastvale Municipal Code Chapter 8.22 prohibits the possession, sale, and use of fireworks citywide (EMC 8.22.030), with no exception for 'safe and sane' fireworks. Riverside County bans even safe-and-sane fireworks, so sparklers and cones are also prohibited. CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire and the Sheriff enforce a zero-tolerance policy.

Heavy RestrictionsBrush Clearance
Eastvale is a flat, built-out suburban city at low wildfire risk and is not generally mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so the statewide 100-foot defensible-space mandate applies mainly to wildland-adjacent parcels near the Santa Ana River bottom. Citywide, overgrown weeds and dry brush are abated as a public nuisance under the Eastvale Municipal Code.
