Dodgers fans set off fireworks in East LA to celebrate World Series win
Dodgers fans in East L.A. celebrated the World Series win, with many setting off fireworks.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Soon after the Dodgers captured the World Series title Tuesday night, fans hit the streets of Los Angeles.



AIR7 HD spotted fireworks going off in multiple neighborhoods, despite dangerous fire conditions and high winds in the region that have led to massive brush fires in Orange County.



Los Angeles police were predeployed in key locations throughout the city, following the experience after the Lakers win in which raucous celebrations led to damage to multiple buildings downtown.

Fans in Culver City watching the Dodgers win the World Series were ecstatic after the end of Game 6.


In Pacoima, cars and motorcycles were seen doing donuts and burnouts in the street as people gathered.



A celebration in downtown L.A. turned chaotic as people were seen storming a large semi-truck and taking boxes before the truck was able to drive away. Fans were seen inside the trailer of the big rig and others climbed on top of the trailer. LAPD tweeted several street closures were in place and asked the public to avoid the downtown area while they were "dealing with a large, and at times unruly" crowd.
