As we kick off another fun California summer, let's all consider what we can do to work together and help prevent human-caused wildfires. With one of California's hottest and driest summers ahead of us, take a moment to read up on fireworks and campfire safety!
California has around 300 cities where "Safe and Sane" fireworks are permitted; these are approved by the state fire marshal and sold by authorized retailers. Before you head over state or county lines to purchase illegal fireworks, be sure to check your local county and city for their fireworks regulations. You can also help prevent wildfires while enjoying time outdoors this summer by knowing how to build a safe campfire, from choosing and preparing a safe campfire spot to extinguishing the fire when you're done.
