BAM! The issue of illegal fireworks in Los Angeles
Show Notes Chapter Markers

In the City of Los Angeles, ALL fireworks are illegal. In the County of Los Angeles, it depends on which city you're talking about. Many cities offer "Safe and Sane" fireworks for sale on and around the 4th of July. The lack of consistency from city to city complicates the public's understanding of fireworks and the law. Join host David Barrett as he speaks with LAPD Deputy Chief Amanda Tingirides, L.A. County Fire Captain Sheila Kelliher, and a group of L.A. residents - all talking about their perspectives on the issue of illegal fireworks in Los Angeles.
