This year, when Friday, July 4th dawns, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies, the Los Angeles County Fire Department, and the city officials are working together to keep the residents, and, of course, any of their holiday visitors safe from illegal fireworks. There have been booths all over the city, staffed by approved nonprofit organizations chosen in a lottery, where the legal, safe and sane fireworks have been selling. Any witnessing of the illegal fireworks should be immediately reported to the Fireworks Hotline at (888) 654-FIRE (3473).
