Dallas Seizes 1800 lbs of Illegal Fireworks | Texas News

Dallas police and fire rescue pulled off two major Fourth of July raids, seizing nearly 1,800 pounds of illegal fireworks — enough to turn up the volume on chaos — from pop-up markets operating out of U-Hauls and vans. First up, a 1,400-pound haul on Elsie Faye Heggins Street netted two citations; then, just hours later, another 400 pounds was nabbed on Penelope Street with one more citation. With fireworks banned in city limits, officials are cracking down hard to prevent deadly fires and injuries — and they’re still investigating both busts. A timely reminder: celebration’s fun, but safety’s the real fireworks here. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
