HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA 🎉

Tonight is the night for all things pop, crackle and sparkly!

So what’s the best way to stay safe while setting off your assortment of pyrotechnics?

Here’s a few tips:

💥 Have a hose, fire extinguisher or buckets of water ready incase anything goes awry.

💥 Have ear protection ready for babies, very young children and folks with sensory concerns.

💥 Set up all fireworks on a clear, level surface to avoid them tipping over.

💥 Use a lighter with a long tip or long matchsticks (think fireplace, not cigarette).

💥 Do NOT allow children to handle, light, or wander around fireworks unsupervised.

💥 If a firework doesn’t go off, do NOT pick it up, poke it or kick it. Do NOT attempt to light it again. Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then douse it with water, let it sit some more, then submerge it fully over night and throw it away.

💥 Accidents happen, so have a First Aid kit ready with bandages and burn ointment just incase.

💥 Have a large receptacle (bucket, trash can, rubbermaid container) filled with water. After the show, spray all the spent fireworks down with water, carefully collect them and dump them into the water-filled container. Let them soak overnight before throwing them away the next day.

Fireworks are a lot of fun, but they can cause injuries and damage if not handled responsibly.

❗️REMINDER❗️
ALL non-“Safe & Sane” fireworks are illegal for personal use in Placer County.

“Safe & Sane” fireworks are only legal to use within the incorporated city limits of LIncoln, Rocklin and Roseville.

ALL fireworks are illegal in unincorporated Placer County, which includes the “Safe & Sane” variety.

Please, DO NOT risk your community by engaging in fire-hazards just because you want to blow s*** up.

Have Fun & Be Safe #PlacerCounty

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

Weird guy at post office

What’s up with the guy inside the post office videoing everyone. He followed me to my P.O. Box and recorded me up close going through my mail. When I ask him what was up he yelled harshly “Nothing, why?” I had the feeling he was trying to rage bait me so I just smiled and walked away. He followed me to my car and then left to follow someone else. He has his face covered and he drives a Tesla. Anyone know his social media handle?

Where to take your dog on the 4th of July

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping for some local advice. I have a dog that’s extremely terrified of fireworks, and while we’ve prepared as much as possible at home, I’m trying to identify a backup plan if things get too intense.

Does anyone know of any relatively quiet areas within an hour or two of Rocklin where fireworks tend to be minimal? I was wondering if somewhere around Granite Bay or the unincorporated areas near Davis/I-505 might be quieter since I don’t believe they have a large city fireworks show, and I understand personal fireworks may not be allowed in some of those areas.

Has anyone successfully found a quieter place on the Fourth? I’m not looking to watch fireworks, I’m trying to get away from them if possible.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Merryhill parents

Merryhill in Rocklin has a bully. They are allowed to talk negatively about other staff. They are allowed to make false accusations against other staff. They are allowed to make false statements about a person to other staff in an effort to get them on their side.

The administration is fully aware and took their side every single time.

Now my reputation and career is ruined because of this bully.

If something doesn’t change I’ll be homeless on a few months. I didn’t deserve this. My life is destroyed. I lost the job I loved and will have to leave my home of 13 years.

Please tell the administration team that this is not okay and people like that shouldn’t be working with children.

I have been trying to get answers and they are completely refusing to explain anything and after 8 weeks offered me $2k. That’s nothing compared to what they did to me.

Why was it okay for them to make accusations without examples?

Why was it okay that I did different rules than the rest of the staff?

Why didn’t the principal help any of the times she said she would. She called the bully a “wonderful” person so everything she said was believed.

There are 5 staff members involved and they are all still working there because they weren’t held to the same standards as me.

New Paved Trail being built

Haven't heard anything about this new construction in my favorite place, but I'm watching it happen. I'm believing it's a continuation of the existing paved trails that are in the green spaces of Secret Ravine/Miners Ravine of Rocklin and Roseville. Anyone know details about it?
