Rose Bowl Stadium Event Notification - 4th of July Celebration
Rose Bowl Stadium Event Notification - 4th of July Celebration
The Linda Vista-Annandale Association (LVAA) wants to share with you the following regarding this weekend's Fourth of July celebration at the Rose Bowl Stadium:
FIRE DANGER!
The Pasadena Fire Department began applying Phos-Check, a wild land fire retardant on Tuesday, June 16, in the brush areas surrounding the Rose Bowl in advance of the Fourth of the July holiday.
This year the application took place earlier in the month due to the extreme drought conditions and the retardant will adhere until a significant rainfall. This clear retardant helps keep trees and grassland from burning. Its main ingredients are phosphates and fertilizers, which can help revegetate areas after a fire is out. Fire retardant is one of the main tools that firefighters use as a preventive measure and to contain growing fires in untreated areas.
The Pasadena Fire Department is taking this proactive approach in an effort to mitigate potential hazards during the Fourth of July weekend, as well as into the summer season. Fire apparatus will spend the day coating the area.
For further information, please call the Pasadena Fire Department at (626) 744-4655.
ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR FIREWORKS
The Pasadena Fire and Police Departments wish to remind the public that it is illegal to sell, use, or possess fireworks in Pasadena. The City maintains a year-round Zero Tolerance Policy for fireworks. Violators are subject to arrest; impound of vehicles; up to one year in jail and fines up to $50,000. Due to the high potential for fire hazards and injuries, Pasadena police and fire personnel will staff checkpoints around the Rose Bowl Stadium to seize all fireworks and arrest offenders.
If You See Something, Say Something! Call Pasadena Police at (626) 744-4241 to report illegal fireworks and other suspicious activities.
