The risk of fire, the effects on pets and rising costs are cooling people’s ardor to set off pyrotechnics.
More recently, a South Los Angeles neighborhood was rattled on an otherwise quiet Sunday night in March with a barrage of illegal aerial fireworks that reportedly lasted around 45 minutes. A witness described the scene as a “war zone,” and despite responses by the Los Angeles police and fire departments, the people responsible haven’t been found.
“Tragically, individuals and businesses involved in these preventable incidents rarely face federal, state or local prosecution or civil lawsuits,” Revell said. Law enforcement on this side of the state line received some bad news recently when Red Apple Fireworks, one of Pahrump’s largest pyro stores and whose owner recently shared expansion plans “to ratchet up our growth exponentially,” changed its hours to 24/7 through the Fourth of July. Rival Area 51 Fireworks said it has no plans to match, keeping the doors open only from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m.
In the Los Angeles case, the defendant testified that he made five trips with a rental truck to Area 51 over 10 days that June to purchase massive amounts of illegal fireworks, each time driving back to his L.A. home.More than 2,000 California nonprofits will raise funds through fireworks this year.
