Illegal fireworks warning issued ahead of 4th of July

At a news conference in Leslie N. Shaw Park, not far from the scene of an illegal fireworks tragedy last month, Hochman was joined by officials from the Los Angeles city and county fire departments and an assistant chief from the Los Angeles Police Department in reminding the public that all fireworks are illegal in the county, and prosecutions will result for anyone caught making, selling, buying or setting off illegal pyrotechnics.
