Fire Safety
The Town of Narragansett requires a burning permit for any burning on the beaches or in yards.
Fireworks are prohibited in Bonnet Shores. In accordance with ordinances of the Town of Narragansett and the Bonnet Shores Fire District, there are no fireworks permitted in Bonnet Shores.
Hydrants after a Snowstorm
Please help the Narragansett Fire Department—and protect your family and neighbors—by taking just 10 minutes to shovel the fire hydrant in front of your home. Quick access to hydrants is critical for firefighters. Even a one-minute delay can make all the difference in an emergency.
Golf Carts
R.I. Law prohibits the use of GOLF CARTS on ALL public roadways. The Narragansett Police Department has asked that we remind people that only legally registered, licensed and insured golf carts are permitted to be driven on public roadways. Operators must hold a valid drivers license or driving permit. All rules and regulations associated with the issuance of licenses and permits are applicable, including but not limited to, the requirement of a licensed adult driver being present at all times the cart is in operation. All golf carts are required to have working lights and directional reflectors. Police will be patrolling Bonnet Shores and will be issuing tickets and/or summons to those found in violation of any of the aforementioned rules and regulations.
Loud Party Noises
Chief Kyle Rekas has asked that we notify homeowners first to quiet loud parties and if unsuccessful, the homeowner may call the Police directly at: (401) 789-1091 to complain and remain anonymous.
