This Independence Day weekend, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department proudly encourages all residents to celebrate the freedoms we cherish safely, responsibly, and united as a nation.

As we honor our country’s founding, let us protect the land we love. Southern California faces increased wildfire risk this summer, with dry brush, soaring temperatures, and strong winds creating dangerous fire conditions. The Eaton and Palisades Fires, which devastated over 37,000 acres and claimed lives and homes earlier this year, remind us of the importance of vigilance.

To help keep our communities safe and preserve the beauty of our homeland, please follow these essential DOs and DON’Ts:

DO:

Celebrate America’s birthday at a professional fireworks show
Keep pets indoors and calm during loud festivities
Report illegal fireworks to your local non-emergency number

DON’T:

Use illegal fireworks — they’re dangerous, unlawful, and a wildfire threat
Mix alcohol with fireworks or drive under the influence

Looking for a fireworks show near you?
Visit: http://www.lafd.org/fireworks or www.fire.lacounty.gov (http://www.fire.lacounty.gov/)

Let’s honor this great nation with celebration and care for one another and the land we call home. Stand proud, stay safe, and have a fire-free Fourth of July weekend.

Multiple firefighters were injured Friday morning after fireworks unintentionally detonated on 3 Mile Mountain, prompting the cancellation of West Wendover’s 4th of July fireworks display.

City officials said the incident occurred during the morning hours of Independence Day.

“All city crews involved with the accidental set-off of fireworks are safely off of 3 Mile Mountain,” the city confirmed.

West Wendover Mayor Jasie Holm released a statement offering prayers “to the injured firefighter and for the safety of all our firefighters and public workers.”

The firefighters sustained non-life-threatening injuries. They were assessed and treated.

Please, join us in sending prayers and, or, positive thoughts for their recovery. 🙏🏻
