City of Yuma to host Fireworks Spectacular
Reminds public that even safe fireworks can be hazardous
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - With America's Independence Day only a week away, the City of Yuma urges Yumans to comply with fireworks laws, act responsibly and to think of neighbors and pets when using fireworks.
When hosting home-shows, residents should keep in mind that according to National Fire Protection Association research, U.S. hospitals treat more than 9,000 people for fireworks-related injuries this time of year. In addition, Sparklers, often considered harmless, account for 25% of emergency-room visits during the season.
In an effort to provide Yumans with a safe alternative, the City plans on hosting a Fireworks Spectacular open to the public at no cost from 7-10 p.m. on Ray Kroc Sports Complex grounds at 128 W. Desert Sun Drive.
Entrance to the show is free for all ages; sponsored by Desert Water, Krazy Kutting, BMC Productions and Entertainment, and Krazy Kutting.
Fireworks are scheduled to begin at 8:45 in the evening.
Besides a spectacular display of fireworks, the night will also feature music and food for attendees.
The City of San Luis is celebrating independence day with live entertainment, food vendors, family fun and two firework shows.
The “Get Your Rock Back On” event kicks off at 6 P.M on Sunday.
