As Independence Day approaches, excitement builds in Fillmore for our spectacular annual fireworks show. Fillmore stands out as the only jurisdiction in Ventura County that allows the use of safe and sane fireworks, making our celebration truly unique. Join us on July 3rd for a night of dazzling lights, festive fun, and strong community spirit.

However, while we enjoy this tradition, it’s essential to prioritize safety and proper disposal of fireworks. Fillmore’s fireworks show is a highlight of the summer, bringing families and friends together to enjoy a brilliant display that lights up the night sky. This year, the event promises to be even more spectacular, with a variety of fireworks that will captivate audiences of all ages. As we prepare for the celebration, we encourage everyone to adhere to the guidelines that ensure a safe and enjoyable event for all. Remember to use fireworks only in designated areas to prevent accidents and fires. Setting off fireworks in unauthorized areas can pose significant risks to both people and property. Additionally, once the festivities are over, please dispose of used fireworks in the containers provided at local parks. This helps keep our community clean and reduces the risk of fire hazards.

When using fireworks, always adhere to designated areas to prevent accidents and fires. Setting off fireworks in unauthorized locations can pose significant risks to both people and property. It’s vital to use fireworks responsibly, keeping a safe distance from structures, dry grass, and other flammable materials. After the excitement of the fireworks, proper disposal is crucial. Used fireworks should be fully extinguished before disposal. Use the containers provided at local parks for discarding spent fireworks. This helps keep our community clean and reduces the risk of fire hazards.
Safety extends beyond fireworks to include the disposal of food waste, especially following state guidelines like California’s SB 1383. This legislation aims to reduce organic waste in landfills to combat climate change. Proper disposal of food waste is essential, particularly during celebrations and gatherings. Fillmore residents are encouraged to sort their waste and use designated bins for food scraps and other organic materials. By doing so, we support the city’s commitment to sustainability and comply with regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

By incorporating these safety measures and waste disposal practices, we can all contribute to a safer, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly Fillmore. Whether celebrating with fireworks or enjoying a meal with loved ones, remember that responsible disposal and eco-friendly choices make a significant difference. Let’s celebrate responsibly, keeping our community safe and beautiful for everyone.

Happy celebrations, Fillmore! Together, we can ensure a joyous and safe experience for all.
