7/01/24) Rancho Cucamonga, California – Due to increased fire danger, the San Bernardino County Fire Department will be implementing a closure of the North Etiwanda Preserve over the 4th of July holiday.
The closure is being implemented under the authority granted to the fire chief. The closure is supported by San Bernardino County Special Districts, the agency that manages the North Etiwanda Preserve.
The closure is effective from 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, July 3, 2023, through 6:30 a.m. Friday, July 5, 2023.
This prohibition is in addition to the Rules and Regulations of the North Etiwanda Preserve, which are available at https://specialdistricts.sbcounty.gov/home/parks-and-recreation/north-etiwanda-preserve/ or can be obtained from:
San Bernardino County, Special Districts Department
222 W. Hospitality Lane, 2nd Floor
San Bernardino, CA 92415-0450
The closure is necessary to provide for public safety and prevent the ignition of a wildfire that can damage or destroy the natural resources of the region and the historically significant areas within the North Etiwanda Preserve.
The Fire District encourages residents to report the use of fireworks to the Fire Dispatch Center by calling the non-emergency number 1-909-941-1488. “If you see something, say something,” encourages the fire marshal. “Help us keep your homes and our environment safe from preventable wildfires caused by those whose disregard for others puts all of us at unnecessary risk.”
The Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District encourages residents and visitors to enjoy professional fireworks displays at one of several venues throughout San Bernardino County, including the one at LoanMart Field at the Rancho Cucamonga Epicenter.
