Fireworks have traditionally been at the core of national and regional celebrations. In Los Angeles, all fireworks sales and use are illegal - but even so, Angelenos celebrate every June through August with a nightly show of rebellion that brings joy to some, and fear and disaster to many. This special edition of CityTalk:LA looks into the issues surrounding fireworks, and visits with a number of people involved in the legal aspects of what people believe is a national pastime.
Join us as we speak with leaders from the Los Angeles City Fire Department, the Los Angeles Police Department, The L.A. City Attorney's Office, and the Department of Animal Services. What they have to say may surprise you.
