PUBLIC SAFETY Attemptedkidnappingfoiled 11-year-oldboysaysmantriedtopullhimintovaninCorning By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter RED BLUFF For the first time in three years the skies over Red Bluff lit up with a fireworks dis- play on Independence Day de- lighting residents with its length and spectacular grand finale. "Thank you everyone for all the positive feed back. We worked very hard to bring you this show. So excited that we did it," the Te- hama County Fireworks Commit- tee posted on its Facebook page Saturday. The city's Fourth of July cel- ebration has been in flux since 2008 when the Red Bluff Fire De- partment ended its decades of in- volvement with the show. The Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce took over the show's promotion, but ended its contributions in 2012. That year Red Bluff had no fire- works, but the lack of the show prompted the formation of the Tehama County Fireworks Com- mittee, a resident-led initiative to fund the show through grassroots efforts and business donations. Despite raising more than enough money for a show last year, high winds forced public safety officials to cancel the show. Fortunately Friday's winds died down by dusk and the show was given the go-ahead following a few test shots. The Cal Fire Tehama-Glenn Unit reported just one fire over the holiday, a small fire in the Bowman area, the cause of which is still under investigation. Cal Fire and the Red Bluff Po- lice Department were urging res- idents to take extreme caution when storing unused fireworks. Fire officials reported that de- spite the lack of fires they were busy over the weekend conduct- ing extensive patrols. Law enforcement was also out in high numbers with DUI satu- ration patrols. Red Bluff Police reportedly made a total of 28 traffic stops FOURTH OF JULY LET THERE BE LIGHT Red Bluff once again celebrates holiday with fireworks show, thanks to residents PHOTOSBYRICHGREENE—DAILYNEWS The Tehama County Fireworks Committee's fireworks show erupts into color over Red Bluff on Friday.
