(County of Imperial says Celebrate the 4th Safely) They are asking residents and visitors, especially those in a 5 mile radius of the County Airport, to refrain from using fireworks, especially illegal fireworks or pyrotechnics near the airport.

The County says the fireworks can disrupt airport operations, creating dangerous situations for pilots and passengers, and put the community at risk. They say your safety, and the safety of those flying in and out of the airport, depends on responsible choices. Officials encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly and help keep the skies, and neighborhoods safe.
