Tip of the week: Fireworks Are ILLEGAL In Santa Clarita.

We are so close to the 4^th of July, and many of us are excited for that.  But we must all remember that we are in an extreme drought, the hills around our city are extremely dry, and we have already had a major fire off Calgrove Blvd which required the evacuation of several homes.  All fireworks, including those labeled ‘Safe and Sane’ are ILLEGAL in Santa Clarita.
