LETTER FROM THE CAPTAIN
SANTA CLARITA VALLEY SHERIFF’S STATION
4TH OF JULY SAFETY
Greetings!
The City of Santa Clarita, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriffs station believe that 4th of July celebrations are an important reminder of how precious our freedoms are. That’s why there are numerous local events, including professional fireworks displays that provide residents with safe and fun celebrations and entertainment for families and friends.
While we encourage families to celebrate and enjoy their Independence Day celebrations, we would like to remind everyone that with freedom comes the responsibility to follow the laws and be conscientious neighbors. Every year, hundreds of families ignore the fireworks law and purchase fireworks from outside the Santa Clarita area. They bring them home to light on the 4th of July and that is illegal!.
