4th of July

Protecting Amon Preserve from Fireworks

With all the rain and cool temperatures this spring, Amon Community Preserve, just to the east of Center Blvd and Piper Street, is sporting a bumper crop of tinder-dry grasses. As you celebrate the 4^th of July holiday, please monitor fireworks and supervise the kids using them.

One misplaced firecracker could set the whole hillside above Amon ablaze—some of us remember that happening just a few years ago. Homes and wildlife are at risk. Please be vigilant and call 911 if you suspect trouble. The Richland Police non-emergency # is 628-0333.

Have a safe and happy 4^th!

If you have questions, call Kathy Dechter at 627- 0950.
