State and local fire officials released a joint statement this week stressing that while we have had a relatively slow start to the wildfire season due to a wet spring, vegetation is now drying out along the foothills and other areas of the state. Fire officials warn that although vegetation looks green and lush, the moisture content in grass and shrubs is low.
Guidelines provided by fire officials include:
- Use only legal fireworks
- Don't light fireworks near grass or vegetation
- Discard expended fireworks in a bucket of water
- Use fireworks only as intended. Do not modify them.
- Alcohol and fireworks don't mix. Have a designated person light fireworks.
Have a safe holiday weekend.
