Posted Date: 6/21/2011

With the July 4th weekend approaching, the City of Pittsburg asks all citizens to join help make this holiday happy, enjoyable and safe for everyone. All citizens should remember that fireworks, as enjoyable as they are to watch, can be dangerous and should only be handled by professionals. According to the U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission, there are nearly 9,000 emergency room-treated injuries associated with fireworks each year. Fireworks also pose a severe fire hazard, especially in the hot, dry and windy summer conditions we experience. As a reminder, it is unlawful for any person in to possess, purchase, sell or light any fireworks in Contra Costa County, including Pittsburg. Fireworks includes "safe and sane" fireworks, and firecrackers. There are no fireworks celebration in Pittsburg this year.
