Fireworks:
- Firework Laws: what is legal, when can they be sold and when and where can they be used?
- As of Jan. 1, 2021, certain fireworks are legal to purchase and be used within Arizona.
Legal Consumer Fireworks
- The consumer fireworks that are legal in Arizona are: ground and hand-held sparkling devices; cylindrical/cone fountains; illuminating torches; wheels; ground spinners; flitter sparklers; toy smoke devices; wire sparklers and dipped sticks.
- It is important to know that legal consumer fireworks are allowed only on private property and a person(s) who use, discharge or ignite permissible consumer fireworks are responsible and liable for expenses as a result of any emergency response that is required by such use, discharge or ignition per the Town Code.
- For additional information, please reference Arizona State Law related to consumer fireworks.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Learn emergency response through Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training.
- Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a program that helps better prepare individuals to respond to emergency situations in the community. As a part of President George Bush’s community-based initiative to engage citizens in homeland security and preparedness, CERT educates citizens in giving critical support to first responders, providing immediate assistance to victims and organizing volunteers at a disaster site.
- The CERT program is a 20-hour course given over an eight-week period. Training sessions include disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, and team operations.
- The course will be taught by a team of two trained first-responders. The trainers are required to complete the CERT Train-the-Trainer course conducted by the Arizona Department of Emergency Management.
- The Town will conduct four CERT training classes throughout the year. Class sizes are limited to Town of Kearny residents only.
For more information, contact the KVFD Fire Chief.
Emergency Preparedness
- The Kearny Volunteer Fire Department encourages residents to be prepared to care for your family for at least 72 hours after a disaster. With just a few simple steps you may be able to save yourself and your family when a disaster strikes.
Be Informed
- Find out what potential disasters may affect you. In Kearny, it could be flooding, wildfires (click here for information about wildfires) or thunderstorms and lightning. During a disaster, information is important for survival. Keep a battery powered radio in case the power goes out to stay connected with emergency broadcasts.
Make a Plan
- Plan in advance what you will do for the most likely emergencies. Your plan should include a family communication plan, a shelter in place plan, as well as the action steps you will take when disasters are imminent.
Get a Kit
- Think of everything you might need if you take shelter at home for 72 hours to create a disaster supplies kit. The list of items doesn’t need to be extensive, but plan to have those items handy. Consider a smaller kit that you can leave in your office or car or take with you in case of an evacuation.
Taking these steps and you will make your family safer, maybe even save your lives, during the next disaster.
Ready, Set, Go!
