County bans sale, use of some fireworks in unincorporated areas for July Fourth
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso County Commissioners Court voted on Monday, June 9 to prohibit the sale and use of some fireworks in the unincorporated areas of the County for the July Fourth season. County commissioners voted to prohibit the sale and use of fireworks classified as 'skyrockets with sticks' and 'missiles with fins,' commonly known as 'sticks and fins,' in the unincorporated areas of El Paso County. Unincorporated areas include parts of the County that are outside city limits and are not governed by municipal governments such as those of El Paso, Socorro, Horizon City, or San Elizario. El Paso County commissioners to look at possibly banning some types of fireworks 'This targeted restriction was adopted as a precautionary measure in response to ongoing extremely dry conditions across the region. According to the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI), El Paso County has reached a level of 710, which indicates elevated fire risk and meets the threshold for implementing restrictions,' the Countuy said. County officials said this is not a blanket ban on fireworks. Many types of legal fireworks remain permitted, allowing residents to continue celebrating the holiday with family and friends – safely and responsibly. 'The (Commissioners) Court acknowledges that these decisions can impact local small businesses that rely on seasonal fireworks sales, and the decision to implement restrictions was not made lightly. County officials stressed that public safety remains the top priority, but they remain mindful of the challenges that small business owners face during this critical sales period,' the County said in its news release. The Commissioners Court urges residents and vendors to exercise caution and good judgment during the Fourth of July season, emphasizing that personal responsibility is key to preventing dangerous fire incidents and protecting the community, the County said in its news release. 'This includes keeping our neighborhoods free of debris and trash that may accumulate during the 4th of July festivities,' the County said in its news release. The legal fireworks sale period is June 24 through midnight on July Fourth. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

"Unknown material" prompts closure of beaches in Spain's Valencia region
Mysterious white particles that washed up onto a small section of southeast Spain's Valencian coast prompted authorities to close a handful of beaches on Monday as a precaution. The local administration in Guardamar de la Safor, in the Gandia district of southern Valencia, said in a social media post that at least four area beaches would remain closed due to a "possible marine spill affecting our area, with an unknown material present in the sand." The administration initially urged people not to swim until the material was identified and any risks it presents have been determined, but in a subsequent post it said the beaches would be closed. The local government said it was in regular contact with the relevant authorities to follow up on sample testing and to ensure public safety. Photos posted by the local authority showed long, undulating lines of small white particles, seemingly washed ashore by the tide, that appeared to be roughly the size of grains of rice. They appeared similar in size to the small pellets of plastics that are shipped around the world as the raw materials to manufacture countless household and industrial products, but Spanish authorities did not immediately give any indication as to what they believed the material might be. Local news outlet Valencia Plaza cited sources with the Valencian Port Authority as saying the most significant concentration of the contaminant appeared to be around the mouth of the Serpis River, which flows into the Mediterranean at Gandia, just north of the affected beaches. According to the sources cited by the outlet, that indicated a possible inland origin of the material. At least four local beaches down the coast from Gandia were closed on Monday, Daimús, Guardamar de la Safor, Bellreguard and Miramar. The affected area is more than 250 miles south of the bustling city of Barcelona, but it sits just north of some of Valencia's most popular tourist beach destinations on the picturesque Costa Blanca. Valencia Plaza reported that environmental samples, both of water and the unknown substance, had been collected for analysis from various points along the affected coastline.
