Multiple Southern California fireworks shows have been canceled following a state investigation into the company hired to provide the pyrotechnics.
The cities of Lancaster, Palmdale, La Puente and Lynwood were among those forced to cancel or revise their shows after the California State Fire Marshal raided the warehouse of Exposhows Inc. in Kern County,,,,,
,, ,.,David MacCormick, a spokesman for Exposhows, said via email that the company is a "small family owned business that has been providing safe entertainment to communities in California for decades."
He said that the display fireworks in their possession were all legally purchased and that the company was proud of its track record of safe shows.
"To Exposhows, this appears to be an overreaction by the State Fire Marshal office, and so far no charges have been filed or disclosed to Exposhows to comment upon," MacCormick said. "It is a shame that the [State Fire Marshal] has abruptly decided to seize the fireworks just prior to being released from Exposhows’ facility to the display sites, wrongfully depriving those affected communities of experiencing another safe and entertaining Fourth of July Celebration to express their spirit of community and patriotism."

I saw the fireworks from West Point on Fox, tonight.
I don’t know if it was just the camera work and how it appeared in video, but it was the most impressive display I’ve ever seen (I’m a great fan of fireworks.)
Catch it on a repeat or YouTube, if you can. The music was great, too.
Jerk.
If the weather condition are terrible (dry and windy) then just stop the show rather than confiscate the fire works. I assume the woke took the fireworks as they are afraid that it will become power for cannons and muskets so to hold off the revolution?
This is all anti American bullshit from The National Socialist Kill America Party!!
Plenty of so-called illegal fireworks across all of east Oakland and San Leandro, CA. There’s a good vantage point nearby.
All democrats are to blame but moat especially, the democrat useful idiot voter.
From the article:
Richwine said the company was unlicensed and in possession of fireworks that had counterfeit State Fire Marshal seals, as well as homemade explosives.
This company has been in business for a long time, how could they be unlicensed?
And at least two of the cities affected (effected?) have hired people to provide a laser light show. Is it the same company? I smell shenanigans...
Here are links showing at least two cities have switched to laser shows because of this:
Lynwood laser light show: http://lynwood.ca.us/galleries/join-lynwood-for-the-independence-day-laser-light-show/
Lancaster laser light show: https://www.cityoflancasterca.org/Home/Components/News/News/9789/
That is lame.
I've been around 60 years and never heard of fireworks cancelled for being too dry. We had droughts back then as well.
Also towns holding fireworks would always have their fire departments deployed around the site to quickly extinguish any burning embers - if there were any.
The Deep State is trying to eradicate our history and culture. They are canceling anything that is a national tradition and replacing it with nonsense like Junteenth.
They tried this in 2020 and people all over LA had the best fireworks display they had ever had. I suspect that this will happen again.
I’ll put up patriotic decorations for the whole month.
Sounds like a good reason to boycott anything from California.
Betcha some politician’s friends or family wants the job instead.
