SoCal fire crews and police will be cracking down on illegal fireworks. Some departments will be using drones to catch people lighting them.
A TNT fireworks stand has been up and running since Monday near the corner of Cabrillo and Westminster avenues in Alhambra.
"There's been a steady course of people coming in and asking a lot of questions. And one of those questions like you brought up is safety. What's safe for our kids and stuff like that. Lot of safety conscious parents out there," said Alan Cardenas, who operates the stand.
The fireworks stand benefits the Alhambra Moors High School soccer team and it's one of six approved to sell fireworks.
"Safe fireworks stay in the ground, nothing is going up in the air, but puts up a pretty good show," Cardenas said. "We've had a few where they start looking around, looking at the catalog and they're like which one is the ones that go in the air. We don't sell those. They're looking for Roman Candles and even the ones that shoot straight up and do all the crazy stuff and we have to let them know, no, those are not legal. We only sell legal fireworks here, safe fireworks here."
Public safety officials remind everyone that all fireworks are illegal in unincorporated parts of L.A. County and many other cities like Pasadena.
"We are posting these on trees in the foothill areas, on poles, anywhere that we think that we can get the view," said Pasadena Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian.
Those who are caught will be facing serious fines. All of this is being done to prevent someone from getting hurt or killed as well as stopping the threat of potential wildfires.
"Just outside our city they're selling them. They benefit nonprofit organizations, which is great. Keep them in the city you buy them in. Don't bring them in Pasadena," Derderian said. "The last thing we need is another fire."
Anyone caught using illegal fireworks in the city of Alhambra, you could face fines starting at $500.
