L.A. firefighters respond to more than 3,000 service calls on a busy July 4

by holding a public fireworks show at the Lancaster National Soccer Center. Parking lots were closed, and residents were encouraged to watch from their homes or isolated outdoor areas.“The ultra left is trying to steal 4th of July,” Mayor R. Rex Parris

But this year, the PM2.5 pollution appeared to be more concentrated and linger for longer even compared with past holidays, officials said. On Sunday morning, the inversion layer was almost at ground level, compared with the height of 1,000 to 1,500 feet that is typical for this time of year, he said.

The increase in pollution, albeit temporary, raised an additional layer of concern in light of the recent increase in coronavirus cases that have prompted public health officials to tell people to redouble efforts to stay at home and avoid unnecessary contact with others. Minimum humidity dropped to the single digits and teens in many inland and foothill areas on Sunday, while high temperatures in those areas were forecast to reach up to 10 degrees above normal, the National Weather Service said.

God Bless the birds.

So we should have had legal fireworks after all

What do you think happens when you ban everything?

This is the greatest FU! they could have ever sent to GavinNewsom. LetFreedomRing

Yup. The dems want to abolish and defund the Police. It’s all downward from here unless the dems are voted out in 2020

Hmm, seems like GavinNewsom and MayorOfLA ban on fireworks caused more fireworks 😂😂😂

Idiots

GavinNewsom is a pansy and people don't want to listen to his BS anymore. Defund fireworks, lol!!

Dispite our leaders, We will celebrate this great country!

For the past few years, there has been NO real enforcement of preventing the use of illegal fireworks. Lip service is no help at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why bother. The motherfuckers, should burn. And then be arrested for arson.

Due to the coronavirus? 'ALL FIREWORKS ARE ILLEGAL IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES' 'In Los Angeles, all fireworks sales and use are illegal...'

of course, the remedy for all of this illegal behavior is to..........cut the police budget?

Good old fashioned American rebellious spirit!

Karens are fuming!!!

Whas has a firework ban to do with corona? But yes you’re right, it is a shame people didn’t obey the left wing orders.

Please shoe the complete call logs and after action reports.

This shows why America will be decimated by the virus: No one in this country gives a shit about anyone else They all think laws and rules don't apply to them

Should of sent social workers. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

GavinNewsom and the CAlegislature need to put this issue on their to-do list. If not making direct sales illegal, then adding tons of taxes to sale of fireworks. This year was ridiculous.

Lol. The nannies much prefer that celebrations of freedom and independence be strictly controlled.

The silent majority

Ban fireworks. They’re a public nuisance that cause immeasurable noise and air pollution.

Awesome 😎

Jajajajaja all media... economy is falling and the unemployment rates are higher than never.... people buying more fireworks than ever confirm Jajajajajaja 🤡🤡🤡🤡... USA is doing well Trump2020Landslide

Are these fools protesting the 4th because of “air quality”?

They were protesting in the name of George Kirby. It’s all good.

What’s LA going to do about feces and needles in the streets?

POTUS. I thought you defund the first responders & police. Who will answer the calls for you Democrab? It should be Your social workers.

There is no word for fun in Russian.

Defund the people that set off illegal fireworks

Let’s double it up next year!

That’s how serious people take democratic leadership

That's what happens if you ban fireworks

Sometimes Americans aren't going to follow the rules when the people putting the rules in place seem to pick and choose when to enforce them

Oh well

'Black lives matter ' has the right to celebrate 4th of July, also looting, stealing, burning, painting streets, and turning down monuments.

We know how effective bans are 😂

You shoulda had reporters on the ground recording the faces of the fireworks launchers. All the brown faces would not fit your narrative, that I can say for certain.

How many were actual emergencies? And how many were Karen’s?

The air quality all day has been abysmal. Worse than when we have fires. Think of all the people suffering with Covid who had to breathe in that crap. It’s a damn disgrace. Angelenos should be ashamed.

I guess it's still a free country after all.

Cowardly incompetent Governor Newsom is going to lose this next reelection, mark this words.

someone is shooting off illegal fireworks right now near where I live... why can't people just follow the laws?

Defund the firefighters

Even communist California celebrate 4th of July.

Thank you Angelino’s!! Your so weak!

SoCalOSINT No relation to politics or patriotism, it's an annual happening for thousands of idiots.

So they only got a couple hundred more calls than they usually do on a regular day? That doesn’t sound too bad to me considering how many fireworks were going off last night🤷🏾‍♀️

Here’s an idea. Don’t sell firework within 200 miles of LA?

SoCalOSINT Very disappointed in the people, mostly lower income and uneducated. When they complain of air pollution, they did it to themselves. Pathetic and sad. LA has become a 3rd world hellhole.

Fun is dead to you.

ReneeVoiceBrand Ban fireworks period. What a joke.

Great waste of taxpayer dollars so we can jerk off about blowing things up. Wouldn't watching a Bruce Willis movie be a reasonable substitute?

Record level of freedom ignoring tyranny

There is no word for fun in Russian.

Freedom was ringing last night! Happy to be a part of it!!

It was a message that your control propaganda is not working anymore. Get a real hobby....fake news

We are a nation of spoiled, perpetual children, it's mind blowing... and it's LITERALLY killing us.

cute that we gave them a hobby rn

Lexialex The October 2019 Kincade Wildfire seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?

Fireworks are racist?

3000 + freedom calls MayorOfLA GavinNewsom !!!!
