Independence Day weekend is upon us and after a year pandemic restrictions a lot of us are ready to celebrate. But first responders are encouraging you to celebrate safely.
When it comes to July 4th, perhaps the biggest thing that comes to mind is fireworks. But, fireworks are illegal in the City of San Diego and the rest of San Diego County. Fireworks are only permitted for special community events. In addition to the threat of wildfires, fireworks are a potential source of serious injuries.
Even something like sparklers, which seem harmless, can burn as hot as 2,000 degrees. But the types of fireworks which don’t need to be lit can also be dangerous, especially for children.
