CELEBRATE THE 4TH OF JULY RESPONSIBLY
|
|
July 4th is a time to be with family and friends and to celebrate our country’s independence. As July 4th draws closer Azusa City Councilmembers, Azusa Police Department and Los Angeles County Fire Department would like to remind residents to use caution to ensure a safe July 4th Holiday. If your celebration is going to include fireworks, only use the Safe and Sane variety in legally designated areas of the city.
The Azusa City Council has made a significant change to the Azusa Municipal Code regarding illegal fireworks. They have imposed a zero tolerance for illegal displays and have increased the fines
to $1,000 for each infraction. Firecrackers, bottle rockets and mortars are all illegal!
The discharge of these types of displays is strictly prohibited in Azusa.
Safe and Sane fireworks may only be discharged on July 4th from noon to midnight and only in residential zones
.
It is against the law to discharge fireworks north of Sierra Madre Avenue, in City parks, parking lots, alleys or in schools.
To purchase Safe and Sane fireworks, you must be at least eighteen years of age.
The Azusa City Council would like to remind residents that the city has a strict fireworks ordinance that restricts the use of Safe and Sane fireworks and imposes severe penalties for any violations. On July 4th, the Azusa Police Department will be enforcing all applicable city and state laws and issuing citations for administrative fines beginning at $250 and up to $1,000. Violation of State fireworks laws are a misdemeanor and punishable by fines or up to one-year incarceration in county jail.
The 4
th
of July is a time to be with family and friends,
please celebrate safely and responsibly.
Have a safe and happy July 4th!

It's Not Too Late
You can still complete the census TODAY. (Deadline Oct. 31, 2020)
|
|
It's Safe and Secure
The U.S. Census Bureau keeps your answers safe and confidential.
|
|
Homes across the country received invitations in March to complete the 2020 Census.
The census questionnaire is short (9 questions), takes an average of 10 minutes to complete, and only asks for basic information (e.g., age, sex, race, type of housing, etc.) from all people regularly sharing your address. It does not ask for sensitive information like social security numbers, immigration status or bank account information. Every year, California gets billions of dollars based on census information that helps pay for schools, roads, police, fire, health care and many more services. An under count would jeopardize our full share of these resources so your response is critical to get an accurate count.
Respond to the census now by completing the forms online, by phone or by mail.
Go to
census.lacounty.gov
for more information and to complete your questionnaire. If you don’t respond by phone, mail or the Internet, a census worker may visit your home.
