$500,000 Worth of Illegal Fireworks Found in a La Puente Home
Last week, police discovered about $500,000 worth of illegal fireworks stockpiled in a La Puente home in Southern California. According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, an accident could have ignited a fire that could have quickly destroyed neighboring houses.
California’s fireworks laws limit “legal” fireworks to “safe and sane” fireworks. Possession of any other fireworks could potentially trigger felony charges. And even “safe and sane” fireworks are prohibited in certain cities throughout the state.
Local laws are often much more restrictive than California’s fireworks laws in terms of when and where fireworks may be purchased, sold, and used. In order to make sure you comply, it is advisable to contact your neighborhood fire department for your local regulations.
