Orange’s Fireworks Crackdown | Los Angeles News

Orange, CA went all out on Fourth of July fireworks enforcement, launching a multi-pronged campaign months in advance with signs, hotlines, apps, and targeted outreach. Over 386 calls flooded in — 228 on July 4 alone — with nearly 19% from designated “prohibited zones.” Police used drones to catch illegal displays, racking up $240K in fines, including one $111K ticket. One resident surrendered 26 aerial mortars to avoid paying. Fire crews responded to 146 incidents, including fires and medical emergencies, while handing out 1,800 disposal buckets. Permitted booths cashed in nearly $600K — up 15% from last year. Now the city’s tallying costs, sending invoices, and planning for next year’s safety blitz.
