Fire Lane Parking Violations
Parking in designated fire lanes or in front of fire hydrants in the City of Irvine is strictly prohibited. Fire lanes and hydrants are considered part of the fire protection system of any building. They are designed to allow unobstructed fire apparatus access at all times to the building in the event of a fire or a medical emergency.
Whenever a fire lane is blocked, the safety of that building and its occupants are in jeopardy. Fire lane curbs are marked red in order to define their limits.
If you are found parked in front of a red curb, your car will be ticketed, towed, or both. To report a violation, contact the Irvine Police Department at 949-724-7200.

Fireworks cannot be sold in the City of Irvine. Per Irvine Municipal Code fireworks offered for sale can be seized and destroyed at the owners expense. Section 4-4-113 of the Irvine Municipal Code is outlined below:
