  • There are so many thousands of firework igniters, that I'm sure it's not likely that a very high
    number of the illegal fireworks are cited, I really think it's a bad idea to have a police
    helicopter flying so low that a skyrocket causes damage to the Chopper. I hope the majority
    of the fireworks blasters avoid injury and avoid causing major property damage- all throughout Orange County, this Fourth of July !!

  • Zero Tolerance my ass. The Santiago Park area looked like a war zone with all the "illegal " fireworks ( if there "illegal" why does everyone have them??). Where was the Santa Ana PD presence ?? Perhaps they were too busy checking out the new Dunkin' Donuts on 17th. Who's really enforcing the law when the Santa Ana PD refuses to do anything??
