We Couldn't Agree More

For most of us, a Fourth of July Celebration wouldn't be the same without fireworks.

The Mayor and City Council Members hope that all Fontana residents have a fun and safe time celebrating this special holiday. City leaders encourage residents who want to use safe and sane fireworks, to do so in a prudent and appropriate manner...

The City of Fontana allows non-profit organizations to sell safe and sane fireworks in order to raise much needed money for their groups. All safe and sane fireworks will have the State Fire Marshall Seal on it. City officials urge residents to follow all safety procedures when discharging fireworks.
These words were posted on the City of Fontana's official website, and we couldn't agree with them more.

You're absolutely right--it wouldn't be the same, City Officials. And the money is "much needed for [the] groups."

What was true when you posted these words on your website is still true today.

Also still true:
City officials along with the Fontana Police Department are taking necessary steps to stop the use or sale of illegal fireworks in Fontana.
Why not continue to work with the fireworks wholesalers, the nonprofit groups and Fontana's law-abiding citizens to focus on those intentionally breaking the law--instead of punishing the vast majority who follow all the rules?
