Staying safe while using fireworks this holiday weekend KSBY and last updated 2021-07-03 03:25:37-04 People often enjoy setting off fireworks on the 4th of July, but when not used safely, they can lead to brush fires and bodily injury. "A firework of any kind can really quickly ignite a wildfire that can pose immediate danger to our community," said San Luis Obispo Fire Dept. PIO James Blattler. Blattler says fireworks pose an immediate threat to our community and if one does start a fire, it is best to call 911 immediately. "The number one thing we want them to do is call 911. After 911 has been called, make sure everyone in the area has been alerted," Blattler said.
