The LAFD reminds residents that a zero-tolerance policy exists for the use and sale of illegal fireworks. Misdemeanor penalties can include up to a year in county jail and/or fines of up to $5,000. Possessing large qualities of dangerous fireworks can be charged as a felony. A conviction can result in a fine up to $50,000 and jail time.

Fireworks are both illegal in the City and pose a threat to our wildlife and parks. Here’s a roundup of fireworks shows where you can have a safer, more accessible experience.

To report fireworks:

• Use the MyLA311 app. It’s free and available here: www.lacity.org/MyLA311

• The LAPD has an online fireworks form that you may fill out:  https://complaint.lacity.org/Complaint/fireworks

CD4 Field Deputy, J. Anderson, wishes everyone a joyful and safe holiday.
