Tip of the Week: Report Illegal Fireworks
Summer is here, and we did not get nearly the rain we had hoped for over the winter. As such, the hills around us are extremely dry. With that, we must remember that recreational fireworks propose a huge hazard to our community. We are still in a doubt, and the risk of brush fires are extremely high. We must remember that all types of fireworks, including those marked ‘safe and sane’, are illegal in the Santa Clarita Valley. If you should see or hear any type of firework being used in your area, report it immediately to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station. Let’s all do our part to protect our community by not participating in using illegal fireworks.
