Hi this is Sallie from South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue reminding everyone not to use personal fireworks this coming 4th of July.

Not only are fireworks  illegal in the entire Tahoe  basin, but numerous fires result from their use, not to mention the severe injuries they may cause to the users. 

The South Shore area provides the locals and visitors a world-class fireworks display on the evening of July 4 at 9:45pm. This display is visible over the lake from the South Shore beaches on both the California and Nevada sides.

South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue wishes you a safe and sane 4th of July celebration.
