The growing concern of wildfires sparked by fireworks has caused several areas like the Angeles National Forest to close some preserves.
Officials have cautioned against using fireworks this holiday weekend as the drought emergency worsens daily, making dry, golden brush ripe fuel for wildfires.
Concerned about the increased fire danger going into the Fourth of July weekend, San Bernardino County firefighters closed the North Etiwanda Preserve in Rancho Cucamonga to protect it from anyone insistent on using fireworks.Officials closed the preserve from Friday night through Tuesday morning, with the fire chief saying the department needs to protect the local treasure. While understanding the concern, the move has upset some residents wanting to enjoy the mountainside.
The Angeles National Forest have placed similar restrictions, sharing the same fears as San Bernardino County officials.
