July 1, 2025 - Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck joined Mayor Anthony Villaraigosa, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, Los Angeles City Fire Chief and Los Angeles County Fire Chief in their 4th of July Anti-Fireworks Press Conference.
The goal of the press conference was to educate and inform the citizens of Los Angeles in an effort to reduce the number of injuries and property loss caused by illegal fireworks.
Police and Fire officials discussed the high fire danger and potential injuries as the consequences of using fireworks. Chief Beck assured the public that violators will be arrested and will go to jail if caught using fireworks. He stated “Enjoy the holiday, be safe, spend it at home not in jail.”
The Fire Department demonstrated a live pyrotechnic display at the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center.
Every year the same statement is
posted, put on tv, in the papers
about unsafe fireworks but every
4th, the Los Angeles residents
don't have to go outside their
community for the firework show
because it is done just like the
pro shows in the streets and there
is no way that the Police and
Sheriff don't see it
