To all of our incredible locals and the wonderful visitors choosing to spend their Independence Day with us: 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞! We love the energy, the celebration, and sharing the beauty of the Moreno Valley with all of you!
However, we need to have a serious chat before the grilling and celebrating begin...
Right now, our forests are bone-dry. Because of the current weather conditions, 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇. A single stray ember can spark a wildfire that threatens our valley, our homes, and the beautiful vacation spots you came here to enjoy.
𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔. The danger presented by irresponsible behavior such as use of fireworks or tossing cigarette butts is obvious, but something as simple as pulling a vehicle into dry grass to park presents just as great a risk under current conditions.
We want everyone to have an unforgettable, fun, and relaxing holiday weekend. But remember, our department is made up of your neighbors who volunteer their time to protect this area. Please help us keep our community, our wildlife, and your families safe as we all celebrate Independence Day together. 🇺🇸
