This group of concerned citizens meets to address the negative impact of illegal fireworks
Everyone is welcome to attend and contribute
ALL fireworks are illegal in Los Angeles, even the Safe & Sane products
Issues include obviously fires during a prolonged drought
( El Nino rains will cause explosive brush growth by July 4, 2016 )
Personal injury of both participants and innocent bystanders
Lost pets: the days surrounding the 4th of July are the highest intake days for animal shelters
( the lucky ones make it to the shelters )
The economic costs associated with being cited for illegal fireworks usage or possession
Of particular concern are the larger imported fireworks
That bypass any safety standards
