Arson Awareness Week is May 4
- 10
“The Cathedral City Fire Dept, in partnership with the Palm Springs Fire
Department and Riverside County Fire Department, is spreading the word that
May 4-10 is Arson Awareness Week. The theme for this year’s Arson Awareness
Week is “Toylike Lighters: Playing with Fire.”
Toylike or novelty lighters have been responsible for injuries, deaths, and
accidents across the Nation. Children are attracted to novelty lighters
because they look like toys, with visual effects, flashing lights, musical
sounds, and toylike designs.
In 2002, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimated 13,900
child-playing structure fires were reported in the U.S., with associated
losses of 210 civilian deaths, 1,250 civilian injuries, and $339 million in
direct damage.”
Saturdays @Canyon Plaza South
opens this Saturday, May 3, 7:30am-2:30pm.
Wessman Development and retailers from both the Canyon Plaza North and
Canyon Plaza South shopping centers will premiere their new “Saturdays @
Canyon Plaza South”, an outdoor shopping extravaganza and farmer’s market
this Saturday, May 3, 7:30am-2:30pm. Admission and parking are free. .
It will be a weekly event featuring upscale outdoor bazaar and farmer
market, opening with 40 vendors with the potential of growing to 125 vendors
with unique and unusual items: art, antiques, clothing, crafts fabrics,
fresh organic produce, beverages and much more. Furnishings, home goods,
jewelry, liquidations, mid-century, modern, and estate items are also
planned. Vendors are both local and from outside the area.
