Fireworks Are Prohibited
in La Habra Heights
|
|
Please help keep the community safe and free from all fireworks. All fireworks are prohibited in La Habra Heights, including safe and sane fireworks. Those caught with illegal fireworks will be subject to a fine and/or citation; including confiscation of all illegal fireworks.
The La Habra Heights Fire Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and City Staff will be patrolling the City during the time leading up to the Fourth of July weekend.
Any embers or sparks emitted from fireworks could potentially ignite a wildfire. Multiple factors, such as high heat, low humidity, strong winds, and a presence of fuel (dead vegetation) play a significant role in just how devastating a wildfire can be. Please make sure to complete your Brush Clearance, as it is critical in preventing wildfires and protecting structures. Furthermore, the handling of fireworks could potentially lead to burns, injuries, and death.
Report firework activity within the City of La Habra Heights immediately to (562) 631-0299. Members of the community are encouraged to provide as much detail as possible such an approximate location, number of individuals, license plate number and/or car make and model.

Pet Safety this Independence Day |
|
With the Fourth of July approaching, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) would like to remind pet owners that extra precautions are necessary in order to protect pets during celebrations.
To ensure the safety of your pets, here are a few tips:
- Make sure your pets have a collar and tags with your personal information. Include a phone number where you can be reached.
- Get your pet microchipped and make sure your register your pet with the company. Do not take your pets with you when going to see fireworks displays. The noise and other activities at these events can easily frighten and overwhelm your dog or cat.
- Keep your pets indoors in a cool, comfortable place with some “white noise” distraction.
- Your pets may want to hide; allow them access to a room away from windows.
- If your dog is outside, make sure all gates are closed and locked and fencing is secure. Your dog may try to escape if they become startled.
- If you are leaving town for the weekend and cannot take your pets with you, make sure you leave them with someone who will be cautious and keep them secure during the Fourth of July celebrations
- Talk to your veterinarian if you feel your pet may need additional support through medications.
