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.
