July 4th Reminder

with No Comments

Every year we hold our breath during the days before and after the 4th of July. One only look at the catastrophe in Malibu and Altadena to remember how devastating wildfires can be. As you celebrate the 4th, we remind you that fireworks are illegal in all cities surrounding the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor. Fireworks are the leading cause of wildfires in July.

Reminder: Fireworks Are Illegal

Every year around this time our stress levels increase because some residents choose to ignore restrictions on fireworks. Restrictions meant to keep us, our property, and our parks safe. Did you know that 99% of wildfires in our hills are because of human causes? Fireworks being one of those causes–and always around the 4th of July. Let’s stay safe and only watch the professional shows.

Fire Ignitions Near 4th of July HIGH

This is your friendly, but VERY serious, reminder our hills are *quite* flammable. So are our cars, houses, possessions–even us–we are flammable. More fires start in the month of July than *any other* month in the year because of fireworks. Please DO NOT set off fireworks in any of the neighborhoods near the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor–they are banned for a reason. Our safety, our lives, and our peace of mind are worth more than any firework display.
