The quick stop by crews prevented the continued spread towards homes.

One resident was assessed by firefighter paramedics, but they declined ambulance transport to a hospital.

AQMD air particulate advisory due to fireworks

Posted on by Posted in Environment, Fires, Health and Medical, Orange County Leave a comment

Poor air quality is likely in areas throughout the South Coast Air Basin and in the Coachella Valley on July 4th through July 5th. Fireworks are known to emit high levels of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) as well as metal air pollutants, all of which can contribute to negative health effects.

Due to fireworks related to Independence Day celebrations, the Air Quality Index (AQI) may reach the Very Unhealthy AQI category or higher across the region from the evening of Sunday, July 4th through the early afternoon on Monday, July 5th. The use of personal “backyard” fireworks also contributes to this air pollution and can further increase how much air pollution a person is breathing. In addition, personal “backyard” fireworks may create even higher levels of fine particulate matter locally that are far higher than regional particulate levels.

Fine particulate matter levels on July 4th and July 5th are typically among the worst (highest) days of the year in the South Coast Air Basin and the Coachella Valley. The smoke and combustion products from fireworks add to the fine particles already present in the Basin that are primarily caused by motor vehicles, as well as fugitive dust and industrial emissions. The use of personal “backyard” fireworks can also spark wildfires, which can be a major source of fine particulate matter.

Breathing fine particulate matter can lead to a wide variety of cardiovascular and respiratory health effects such as heart attacks, asthma aggravation, decreased lung function, coughing, or difficulty breathing and may lead to premature death in people with heart or lung diseases.

Areas of direct impacts may include major portions of the South Coast Air Basin and the Coachella Valley. Air pollution levels are typically worse in areas where personal fireworks are widely used.

The ATF promotes fireworks safety

Posted on by Posted in Crime, Fires, Public Safety, Santa Ana Leave a comment

LOS ANGELES — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) wants you to be safe this Fourth of July. Understanding the dangers associated with illegal or improperly used or manufactured fireworks can prevent severe injuries, disfigurement, or even death. These illegal devices are not fireworks.

How can you know the difference? Consumer fireworks, unless restricted by state or local laws, are fireworks which can be sold to the general public. Consumer fireworks cannot contain more than 50 milligrams (ground devices) or 130 milligrams (aerial devices) of flash powder. In addition, the aerial shells cannot exceed 1 ¾ inch. Consumer fireworks generally have colorful packaging and appealing names. Any fireworks that exceed these limits are classified as display fireworks and require anyone importing, manufacturing, dealing in, or otherwise receiving display fireworks have an ATF license or permit.

Legal fireworks are marked with brightly colored and decorated paper and include a trade name and manufacturing information. Illegal explosive devices – commonly referred to as M-80s, quarter sticks, or cherry bombs – often come in plain brown or white wrappers with no identifying marks. Illegal explosive devices meet neither safety nor quality standards and are extremely dangerous even when not being used. These devices can be highly unstable due to heat, shock, or pressure that can trigger accidental detonation.

ATF is the federal law enforcement agency charged with enforcing federal explosives laws and works with federal agencies such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission, along with state and local agencies, through their fireworks enforcement programs to prevent trafficking illegal fireworks, and protect citizens from the dangers of illegal explosive devices.

According to the CPSC, approximately 66 percent of the injuries associated with fireworks occur around the Fourth of July holiday. The majority of the fireworks-related injuries involved firecrackers and sparklers.

The CPSC provides the following safety tips when using fireworks:

  • Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks.
  • Avoid buying fireworks that are packaged in brown paper because this is often a sign that the fireworks were made for professional displays and that they could pose a danger to consumers.
  • Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities. Parents don’t realize that young children suffer injuries from sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals.
  • Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.
  • Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not ignited fully.
  • Never point or throw fireworks at another person.
  • Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire or other mishap.
  • Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.
  • Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.
  • After fireworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fire.
  • Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.

Anyone who knows or suspects the manufacture or sale of illegal fireworks or explosives devices should report it to your local law enforcement. Call the ATF hotline toll-free at: 1-888-ATF-BOMB (1-888-283-2662). More information on ATF and its programs can be found at www.atf.gov. Follow ATF LAFD on Twitter @LosAngelesATF.

Santa Ana man arrested for allegedly setting off illegal fireworks that injured several kids

Posted on by Posted in Crime, Fires, Garden Grove, Santa Ana Leave a comment

On July 4th, 2021 at 11:30 PM, Garden Grove police officers were dispatched to the 13800 block of Rosita Pl., regarding a large firework explosion that caused windows to be blown out from an apartment complex and vehicle.

Upon arrival, they located multiple injured parties and secured the scene until the OCSD Bomb Squad could arrive.
An 8-year-old child was transported to a local hospital with a severe injury to his eye and burns to his body. Five additional children were treated by medics at the scene for non-lethal injuries.

While at the hospital, officers discovered three additional victims had transported themselves there.

Detectives conducted follow up and were able to identify Frank Lazcano Lopez (46-years-old, of Santa Ana) as being involved in setting off the illegal fireworks that injured nine people, and damaged several apartments and vehicles. Lopez was arrested today and booked into Orange County Jail for igniting a destructive device, causing injury.

This investigation is on-going. Anyone with information regarding the firework explosion is asked to contact Detective Heine at 714-741-5422.

Santa Ana’s gangbangers are buying guns with the money they make on illegal fireworks

Posted on by Posted in Crime, Fires, Gangs, Santa Ana, SAPD 2 Comments

It makes sense when you think about it. The local gangbangers have gotten pretty good at distributing meth and other drugs in Santa Ana. Why wouldn’t they use that business acumen to make a fortune selling illegal fireworks to our residents as well?

It turns out that is exactly what the gangs are doing, all over California. Even worse they are using the money they make importing and selling illegal fireworks to pay for the guns they use to commit crimes. Those guys by the way are increasingly ghost guns, made with 3-D printers. Such guns are unmarked and untraceable.

The gangbangers are buying the illegal fireworks in Nevada and in Mexico then stashing them in their cars and slipping them past our borders.

Illegal fireworks also enter into California through the port of Long Beach from Mexico and China and are ostensibly headed out of state to be sold legally, but some somehow never make it to their intended destinations. These fireworks are then sold online, in parking lots and from warehouses at double or triple their cost, according to the O.C. Register.

Over 250,000 pounds of illegal fireworks are seized by various police agencies in California every year and turned into the State Fire Marshall to be destroyed. However these are the proverbial tip of the iceberg as anyone in Santa Ana can attest. Every 4th of July is insane in Santa Ana with illegal fireworks booming overhead all night long into the wee hours.

These illegal fireworks are not safe. Every year dozens of Californians blow off their fingers and/or hands. Sometimes large quantities of fireworks blow up in the homes they are stored in, presenting a distinct hazard to our neighborhoods. That is not to mention the fire risk in a state that is bone dry.

The officials cannot stem the tide of illegal fireworks in California. It is up to you! Stop buying the illegal fireworks and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Don’t provide money to the gangs so they can turn around and buy more guns!

So. California air quality affected by 4th of July fireworks

Posted on by Posted in Environment, Fires, Santa Ana Leave a comment

Valid Sunday July 05, 2020

This advisory is in effect through Sunday Afternoon. South Coast AQMD will issue an update if additional information becomes available.

Air quality is currently poor in portions of the South Coast Air Basin due to Independence Day firework celebrations. As of noon on Sunday afternoon, Air Quality Index (AQI) levels are Unhealthy in portions of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties due to elevated fine particulate matter concentrations. Residents are encouraged to visit www.aqmd.gov/aqimap or download the South Coast AQMD mobile app at www.aqmd.gov/mobileapp to monitor conditions in real-time.

During the overnight and early morning hours, AQI levels reached the Hazardous category in portions of Los Angeles and Orange counties. Fine particulate matter concentrations are expected to decrease throughout the day on Sunday with increased atmospheric mixing. As a result, AQI levels are expected to decrease to Moderate levels in coastal locations and Downtown Los Angeles. In inland locations such as the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, and the Inland Empire, afternoon ozone will likely result in AQI levels in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups or Unhealthy categories. See www.aqmd.gov/forecast for details.

Fine particulate matter levels on July 4th and July 5th are typically among the worst (highest) days of the year in the South Coast Air Basin. Fireworks are known to emit high levels of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) as well as metal air pollutants, all of which can contribute to negative health effects. The smoke and combustion products from fireworks add to the fine particles already present in the Basin that are primarily caused by motor vehicles, as well as fugitive dust and industrial emissions. Breathing of fine particulate matter can lead to a wide variety of cardiovascular and respiratory health effects such as heart attacks, asthma aggravation, decreased lung function, coughing, or difficulty breathing and may lead to premature death in people with heart or lung disease.

Areas of direct impacts and poor air quality may include portions of:

  • Los Angeles County: Central Los Angeles (Area 1),
  • Northwest Coastal LA County (Area 2),
  • Southwest Coastal LA County (Area 3),
  • South Coastal LA (Area 4), Southeast LA County (Area 5),
  • West San Fernando Valley (Area 6), East San Fernando Valley (Area 7),
  • West San Gabriel Valley (Area 8),
  • East San Gabriel Valley (Area 9),
