The Los Angeles Fire Department Urges Public to Leave Fireworks to the Professionals
In an effort to reduce the many injuries and substantial property damage that always accompany fireworks celebrations in connection with the fourth of July, the Los Angeles Fire Department is making a plea to leave fireworks displays to the professionals. The Department states that despite the fact that this state has strict rules and regulations about who may possess and/or use fireworks, many people often violate California’s fireworks laws which leads to innocent people suffering third degree burns, permanent scarring, blindness and even death as well as life-threatening home and motor vehicle fires.
The Department is warning that even “safe and sane” fireworks, sparklers, small firecrackers and rockets are dangerous and can lead to disastrous results…and this is the case even if you purchase and/or possess fireworks in compliance with California’s fireworks laws. Department officials are urging the public to attend professional fireworks shows as the safest way to enjoy the holiday.
