Warning on Fourth of July Fireworks
From: Edward Gurango
Fireworks are prohibited in LA county, what w/ the dry conditions when a carelessly tossed cigarette butt can easily rage into an uncontrollable firestorm in no time at all. It's worse even now that there is no longer a "fire season" which usually ran from summer to late September. This year the fires started as early as spring.
One has to go further south or to other counties to watch the fireworks display. However, as early as last week, I can already hear "paputok" going off a few streets from where I'm at.

All that the Californians could do now in LA County on 4th of July is simply sing "The rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, give proof through the night that our flag was still there," without actually seeing, or hearing the rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air..
At any rate, Happy Independence day anniversary celebrations, sans fireworks.
