Holiday safety reminders
Please celebrate safely:
- Try to keep pets indoors, or otherwise secured. The unexpected bang of a firework can startle pets and result in uncharacteristic reactions.
- Fires, potentially serious burns, or hand and eye injuries can result from the use of fireworks, especially when young children are involved.
- The sale of permissible consumer fireworks is allowed from May 20 through July 6.
- The use of permissible consumer fireworks is allowed on private property, with the permission of the property owner, from June 24 through July 6.
- Chandler prohibits the use of permissible consumer fireworks in any public park.
- Find the latest information on Chandler’s fireworks restrictions.
- If you’re having a pool party, assign a responsible adult or two to be water watchers.
- Do not place ashes or coals near or in your trash or recycling container. Fires are commonly started because coals are not fully cooled before being thrown into the garbage. When hot coals are thrown out, the trash or recycling container can catch fire.
City steps up heat relief efforts for summer months
As temperatures soar, the city is stepping up its heat relief efforts to protect vulnerable residents from extreme heat. In partnership with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Heat Relief Network, Chandler is providing cooling centers across the city.
This summer, designated cooling centers—including libraries, community centers and local community partners—will offer air-conditioned spaces, free bottled water and resources for those seeking shelter from the heat. The nonprofit AZCEND will operate a Respite Center, providing a cool space for uninterrupted rest—sitting or lying down during hours of operation—including overnight stays on the hottest days.
Essential supplies such as water, sunscreen, and hats will also be available to those in need. Solari will provide emergency transportation to the Respite Center.
Residents are encouraged to check online for a map of heat relief locations and safety tips. With record-breaking heat already forecasted, Chandler remains committed to ensuring no one is left without shelter during the hottest months of the year.

Chandler’s A-OK program lets residents help others
Inside your Chandler utility bill, you will find a convenient way to help people in need in the community. The Chandler Acts of Kindness donation program, or A-OK for short, was developed in July 2000, to give residents an opportunity to make a voluntary donation to assist individuals and families within the City of Chandler who are in need.
The contributions collected go back into the community through a grant process to support a variety of human service programs that provide basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, transportation and utility bill assistance to low-income Chandler residents.
Thanks to the generosity of the community, the Acts of Kindness program continues to be a success. Every cent collected is put right back into the community to help individuals and families in need. We appreciate you helping to make the lives of your neighbors a little better.
For more information, including how to make an A-OK donation call 480-782-2280.
