I promise the people responsible for those fires... do not care at all.
Homeowners are responsible for having there house look like ttash
Yep. They didn't care about our border laws, so why should we expect them to care about anything else except for themselves?
@@Ab-iz9uv Exactly. That "yard" caught fire cause it was filled with horded garbage.
😂😂😂😂
Had some family in Alhambra shoot fireworks into my apartment like it’s a battlefield. Then next thing you know they end up shooting a firework into a tree and it caught fire. Thankfully no one got hurt. But it just shows this year no one wanted to be safe instead they wanted to cause chaos. Chilling thought
Some people are so stupid and irresponsible.
Yeah...YOUR offspring raised in a non firework lighting home
@@novajtv ,
WOW! So sorry for your neighbors. 😒
0:41 was a fail 😭
😂
EPIC FAIL
you ever try to get close to a flame that big??
useless 🤦🤦
@aflyingducky yeah but dude. Like soak yo self and then get to workout dum. Lol what are seriously been funny when she turned around to walk back all defeated like that she ended up sleeping on the water that she just spilled all over the floor
So many fireworks in my area but zero enforcement. Are the cops sleeping in their cars?
In Lincoln heights they just drive by ....
They can't do anything. The DA won't prosecute, so there is no point in the cops doing their job
Why would they waste their time when people won't listen to them and don't care , hell where I live they lit fireworks all the way until 3am it's annoying af
@@diegoflores9237 they don't care they're watching the fireworks show
You literally have to catch someone lighting the stuff. Also, I’d imagine there are probably busy with alcohol related incidents and knuckleheads. Just a thought.
Went on for five hours. No police. Rocket type fireworks. What a nightmare because of a few AH.s.
How do you know this? Because the fire dept was still investigating
A ban with no enforcement is not a ban at all.
It's been like this for over years. It's pretty sad
You can only do so much before you just throw in the towel and just let them find out.
@@fastm3980how it’s just fireworks your boring and sad 😂😂
There just fireworks stop crying it only happens once a year
Can't ban our culture..go to bed Grandma
It happens every year!..never fails!…but, people keep doing it every year!🤷♀️🤷♀️
Celebrating the 4th by trying to burn down your hometown and endanger first responders. So patriotic!
Go to Idaho ..... Karen
You go back
Go to bed grandma it's 1 day a year
yes, & not to forget the combat veterans & any other person who suffers from ptsd , does not want to be around that combat zone and if they give dogs xanax to help them get through this horrible time, what is it doing to wild birds & animals and to humans
so many people crying about patriotism in the comments without knowing what it means haha
💥Happy 2024; and humanity is still struggling with achieving true civilization.
This is why I hate fireworks my neighbors usually set off a lot of fireworks and most of them rent where they live and they don't care about homeowners or a homeowner's property
Go to bed grandma
@@novajtv you wouldn't say that to me in person I know that
@@novajtv Stop being mean grandpa
@@novajtv stop being mean grandpa
These fireworks weren't patriotism but just kids and teenagers being trouble
when u dont enforce, ppl will keep doing it illegally...
We'll never quit regardless...it's our culture so go to bed grandma
they’re just fireworks 😂 you want the PD to waste a bunch of resources on fireworks ? Only happens twice a year stop crying 🤣🤣
Even if you enforce it, people will keep doing it illegally. You can’t stop patriotism king George.
Califoenis citizens: save us from these fires!
California government: dont use fireworks. It will start more fires!
California citizens: dont tell me what to do!
Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington have more fireworks related forest fires around the 4th of July than California. you know how i know that? i read a study instead of just believing what they tell me on the news.
That's about the size of it.
Darwin Award for a person who goes to check a firework that didn’t start …
There's a new meaning to firecrackers, ban them in neighborhoods, and keep them contained.
Change of laws is needed.
Put people in prison
I'm starting to dread holidays. I'm realizing its just best my family and I just stay home during these "celebrations" and let the crazies have it. Not worth the stress.
Yup, live in fear.
Just like the media and government want you to
Go to bed grandma and quit infringing on our culture
That is exactly the response your leaders want. Go home. Be docile.
You get what you paid for !!!
Sadly
What did they pay for?

Fireworks?? But California banned fireworks… why were there firework problems??
There are problems with fireworks because of problem people.
@@theotheleo6830 oh… let’s ban them then! 😃
majority are brought in from Mexico. They dont care
@idahoprepper,
California has not banned fireworks__if they had, we wouldn't be seeing firework stands on every corner selling them in July. 😢
@@debracisneroshhp2827 the fireworks that are being sold in California are non explosive types! You are only allowed to buy sparklers and smoke bombs! Clearly not the ones that spawned this news story..
Ban fireworks go to parks and beaches or watch on TV it’s out of control people don’t care for others or themselves. Fines aren’t working obviously
They rarely give tickets to these people lighting illegal fireworks.
Most of the time the gutless cops just drive by and wave..
Lol shut up fireworks are banned already
Why do they let this crap continue every damn year wtf
I know why.
Because the vast majority of people lighting the illegal fireworks are POC and the police do not want to be deemed racist if they try to enforce the laws.
Because it's our right and culture..go to bed grandma
GOOD...I hope these cities ban fireworks altogether. Every year it's like this as too many people doing foolish things. No lessons learned.
You do realize that’s what LA did, and the residents did not care, you can’t find and arrest a whole city.
Never gonna happen bud 😂, just like people will never gain common sense
They should ban planes too. They can fall on your house and hurt the people inside
not happening those firework stands donate a lot money to the city police dept.
@@srfin24 Which city? Definitely not Los Angeles.
One of the classic examples not to hold a private fireworks show. People swear it'll be fine. The man who checked on their mortar style firework clearly wasn't using common sense. It sucked delivering food last night. Don't know if a firework was about to blow, while turning on a street.
49 years and zero incidents...these problems are caused by YOUR children raised in a non firework lighting home...no common sense
July 5th, some folks can’t count to 10 with their fingers. Funny & sad.
I hate 4th of July
People don't get it. Why take chances with lighting your face on fire, losing one or both your thumbs, or setting your neighbor's house on fire (or your own) just for a few seconds of "fun", when there are a whole bunch of fireworks displays with trained pros that can do a way better job than you??!!
Play stupid games….you know the rest
It's a 1 in 10
Next year I'm leaving the city because of this holiday 'celebration'. Fireworks were still going off at 2:30 am! wtf. Couldn't sleep.
3 am where I live.
Tonight will not be much better.
It's the weekend.
Cry harder
@@ReptilianUnion I'm too exhausted from lack of sleep to cry harder
You need to be home to hose down a fire if these things land on your roof
@@stoundingresults yeah, I've thought about it. There's definitely a risk. But also there's a risk one of these military mortars goes off near one of my windows and shatters it sending glass shrapnel everywhere.
How many times do people need to be told go where professionals are in charge of the fireworks! It's like talking to brick walls nobody listens.
Too many clowns and punks in the valley
Are you one of them?😂😅
… seems you are though!
People celebrate the 4th, I celebrate the 5th. Hilarious.
Excellent comment!!
because of my dogs, I HATE the 4th.
That's right; International Bikini Day.
@@jameschan9634🍪
I save half my stuff for the 5th..just for you grandma
Poor trees 🌲
Those fire are due to the owner not clearing flammable shrubs and cleaning debris.
0:41 this bitccc, you have not walked like 5 more steps 😂😂😭😭who's mom is that ong
Evidently, many people in Socal are super patriotic..
LMFAO yeah right.
It has nothing to do with patriotism.
Trust me.
@@neilmartin99 The evidence says otherwise ...I saw a ton of folks here showing their 4th of July love of country last night. pretty much all night long
@@Goodguy1ful Of course there are good Americans in Calif but I know for a fact that most of those illegal fireworks are coming from areas where patriotism isn't exactly embraced.
I know that for a fact.
@@neilmartin99 1. The fireworks were all over the city 2. I'm not sure what patriotism research you've done... so at this point, I'm not ready to accept your opinion as fact ...but the fact that they shot them off as they did on July 4th indicates patriotism to me
@@neilmartin99how would you know neil 🤣🤣
This is why I heard lots of siren's sound outside the house
Since the politicians get kickbacks, fireworks will never be banned
I still can't believe a firework would set something on fire..
When I tell you this happens every freaking year smh 🤦♀️
If people injure themselves or set their house on fire because of breaking the law first responders should just ignore them.
Someone should have told the news anchor that the field reporter’s name is Omar Lewis, not Carlos.
😂😂😂
😂😂 I was cracking up when I heard that.
Cee
people so reckless… irresponsible and negligent. hope people responsible for the fires are arrested.
they need to ban fireworks and all of the fiery bombs and any other kind of loud polluting dangerous fireworks
I’m surprised there wasn’t a fire in the studio with all of that hotness.
Stupid people burning money.
I gave the lady with the orange bucket an F for trying😂😂😂
We should try not to involve others in our stupidity. People are selfish. Imagine some family being without a home😭
Several. They wanted to blow up the street.
Fireworks need to be prohibited. People obviously don’t know how to use them safely and end up causing loss for others.
Yeah ban fireworks because of the few people that don't know how to use them out of the millions that used them
@@Show-cv4tx let’s see if your opinion changes when your house burns down,
@@susanaspanglish9075Good thing it doesn't burn down because I don't use them right in front of dry bush or anything flammable, and we water the roof on the 4th to prevent it catching on fire
Using your logic we should also prohibit people from driving cars because of the amount of accidents there are everyday
Humans will not learn, each and every year there’s examples of this. Tune in next year for the same mess
That’s too bad, be safe out there
Why are people surprised? Since it happens every year you'd think people would be kind of used to the potential.
Why would you look at the firework???
California :D not the brightest bulb in the room
Well it's Fireworks, lots of alcohol...Hmmm...What could possible go wrong? It's not rocket science what happens to your neighbour.
It concerns me bc people do this all over NYC too
You can do Mortar Shells in Los Angeles? Huh? 🤔
Imported from Nevada
Yes.
They are illegal here. Criminals don't care about laws.
Hey, aren’t fireworks illegal in those cities 💀😂🥰
No media reports on how many fireworks fines were given. Just imagine how much money the cities could have made if they enforced the laws.
Typical in Firefornia!
Remember, fireworks don't hurt people or burn down buildings, people do!
My poor dogs last night😢
Crate them.
They feel safer when they know they can't be attacked from the above, sides or from behind.
A box works too if you don't have a crate.
Put in his favorite toy and a blanket.
You can even add a bluetooth speaker with soothing music.
@@neilmartin99 thanks for the advice
Omg 😂
You even have a picture of your dogs 😂 you probably sleep with your dog also😂
@@lovesupreme1 So using your logic...you must sleep with Malcolm McDowell. 😅🤣😂😆
This is wildd…. Btw what was that lady pouring water on? The concrete?😂
Seriously how stupid are we… blah blah everything is so expensive yet I’ll buy fireworks 💥- now
the government should ban firecrackers. just celebrate w/ family and friends by singing and dancing.
Gay
Very Gay
😂
@@ragingkoolaidhead4178U
Cry harder
That lady missed that fire by a whole 1/2 mile 😂😂😂 wasting all that bucket of water for nothing 😭
I was young when i lit these off. And 1 thing stuck, if it didnt shoor then wait a bit before checking due to this.
Honestly with climate change, and it being cloudy randomly you can't clearly see most fireworks. They also cause air pollution. And it severely scares animals. I think we need to slowly move towards banning fireworks. Like if you are found to sell them mandatory 1 year in jail and a heavy fine.
We need to move towards drone celebrations. Like make half the fireworks shows drone shows. Then slowly year by year less and less fireworks until drones are the default. We can also prevent a lot of fires/injuries.
10 seconds in : " ... Omar Lewis is live in the Hollywood hills. Carlos, good morning." 🤣Props to Omar for not skipping a beat.
Same as always then
I wonder why there's less fires in places where fireworks are always legal.....
Joe Dirt What do you mean all you have is snakes and sparklers?
When I went out to walk to the store and to see the fireworks in my block I was walking paranoid and militant
The price… OF FREEDOM
There was also a fire at Panorama in Willis and at Lanark the ambulance came
Aren't most fireworks illegal there?
Not most...all.
I can see why. alot of houses. All it takes is a stray ember@@NeilTruick
They are, but when is shoplifting ok? Cops don't do anything unless you verbally mouth off to them and threaten them.
@@pathfinder3175depends. If you're actually held by the store, they'll hope you went over the limit. That's what happened to me nearly 20 years ago. The cop was all, "did they cross over $400, so I can take them to jail?
They're banned. But people still bring them from Nevada or Mexico. In both cases the border patrol doesn't do anything. I drove to Las Vegas with expired plates and back. No issues. They just wave as you drive by them, not a keep going more 👋 hi driver.
Yeah and our gutless police and government officials will do nothing about it.
Last night was insane in So Cal with all of the illegal fireworks.
It went well past 3 am in my area.
Thanks Newsom.
On my street it was the MAGAs setting off the mortars. They think visual displays of patriotism are superior to public service. Lots of flags, signs, bumper stickers, beer bottles in the street, and fireworks. Yay America.
Wait are they legal in California? I was amazed at the home fireworks when we are in the middle of a heatwave and no rain.
One of the reason we’re attached for many years they new giving us freedom it was going to be a big caos!!!!!🤫🔴🫢people get to excited to fast!!!!🫢
Anti fireworks laws work about as good as gun laws, thems that want em, will get em.
I woke up this morning, and the air was so smokey. I thought there was a fire, but no, it was from all the fireworks last night. I have no sympathy for the guy who blew his face off.
Fiery, but mostly peaceful mishaps.
Leave the fireworks to the professionals, noobs!
it was a grass fire
Looks down at mortar... No mames bro. I learned as a kid. Dont look into rockets or anything that shot off if you just light it.
CALL OUT THE CHIMP-SITTERS
Why would you put your head in front of a dangerous projectile? You wouldn't put your head infront of a gun.
It takes a 200 IQ level to light a firework apparently
I don't know about California here in Florida everything is so damn dry no rain
Do people not have house extinguishers anymore
I do
0:41 Me when I pretend to care about someone else's problem.
Using a garden hose and a Gatorade cooler to douse water on an otherwise inferno? Might as well just take a piss on the fire at that point.
Hope that guy will be ok
The lady in Reseda (sp) didn't even get half the water on the fire
0:39 Good thing she threw water on the concrete drive.
I’m sure a lot of home insurance claims too
So sad , Poor guy .. Hopefully he is ok
If used responsibly fireworks are pretty safe.
People will have fun.
