As safe and sane fireworks go on sale in unincorporated | |
Clark County, officials are reminding the public that the | |
You Light It, We Write It effort to crack down on the | |
possession and firing of illegal fireworks in the Las | |
Vegas Valley will continue through the Independence Day | |
holiday 2019. Information about the effort is available | |
at www.YouLightItWeWriteIt.Vegas. Only fireworks labeled | |
safe and sane are allowed over the July Fourth holiday. | |
Only fireworks labeled safe and sane are allowed and only | |
from July 1, 2019, through July 4, 2019, in | |
unincorporated areas of the county where locally licensed | |
and inspected non-profit fireworks stands are permitted | |
to sell them. No fireworks are allowed after midnight on | |
July 4. As part of the You Light It, We Write It effort, | |
the public is encouraged to report illegal fireworks | |
complaints online at www.ISpyFireworks.com instead of | |
calling 911 or 311. In 2018, the ISpy site logged more | |
than 25,000 complaints, including 21,800 on July 4. | |
Enforcement teams of police and fire inspectors from the | |
County, city of Las Vegas and North Las Vegas will be in | |
local neighborhoods over the holiday to crack down on the | |
use of illegal fireworks. Offenders caught using illegal | |
fireworks may be subject to citations of up to $1,000 and | |
possible fireworks disposal fees. Reports to the ISpy | |
website do not result in a police dispatch. Instead, the | |
data is used to document problem areas and plan law | |
future enforcement efforts. Officials remind the public | |
that 911 should only be used to report life-threatening | |
police, fire and medical emergencies. The public may call | |
311, the police non-emergency number, to report illegal | |
fireworks usage complaints but callers are asked to | |
exercise patience, especially on busy nights like the | |
Fourth of July, when dispatchers must prioritize | |
emergency responses. Noise from fireworks often poses a | |
serious nuisance and hardship to senior citizens, pets, | |
veterans and people suffering from post-traumatic stress. | |
Clark County produced Public Service Announcements for | |
radio and TV to help publicize the You Light It, We Write | |
It effort with agency partners. Clark County produced an | |
additional :30-second PSA to highlight the impact that | |
the sudden and unexpected noise from illegal fireworks | |
poses for seniors, veterans any people suffering from | |
post-traumatic stress disorder. Some local citizens, | |
including a 1 October survivor as well Col. Cavan | |
Craddock, commander of Nellis Air Force Base, donated | |
their time to help us produce this PSA. You can download | |
the PSA for TV or radio from these links copied below. | |
One produced with assistance from The Animal Foundation | |
highlights the impact that the use of illegal fireworks | |
has on pets. The shelter s population typically increases | |
by hundreds of pets over the Fourth of July holiday | |
because of fear and anxiety caused by illegal fireworks | |
noise. Most of the lost pets are never reclaimed. | |
