Every year is zero tolerance for illegal fireworks and every year I'm still waiting for SFPD to show up. I'm sure a blind person could figure out which location the fireworks are being lit from.
NOT ILLEGAL They are Migrant fireworks looking for a better light
Seems like Ppl just dont give a f***** anymore...its reli sad to be part of such a society sometimes
Yep run after fireworks while you’ve got a real emergency
@@lechatbotte. fire's burning down homes are a real emergency
Well when the city makes ALL fireworks illegal then expect the fireworks that people will use will be the "good ones", and how many fires started in SF as a result?
People are so stupid.
People are so selfish
considering the people in that area are W🏳🌈🏳🌈 libs and POCS Shouldn't be paradise?
Newsom supporters
They voted for less police 🤷♂What did they expect?
@@BrakRulesAllhighly doubt these are democrat types… lol
Here in Menlo Park near Facebook HQ, we have a ton of Illegal Fireworks going off all day long and still going off and no Menlo Park Police nowhere to be found, the fireworks are still going off at this minute as we try to get to sleep for work in the morning fireworks are still popping loudly and seem not stop how disrespectful these folks are here in Menlo Park.
At this minute as I write this they are still popping a whole lot of the fireworks 12:51am Friday July 5th. 2024.
You should call the gestapo...
Shut up
Debbie downer
Police haven't given a single citation in three years in Oakland, so what do you expect?
Illegal fireworks right behind a police station and the cops are ""too busy" to stop them? Such a pathetic excuse. It's not like fire and police departments were caught off guard without putting resources on duty.
It’s like this every year 😅
@@Muaythaiaddict556
Gets worse every year.....
Youd only cry racist and riot
The public wanted less police.
Okay Karen get a life
there are fireworks going off right now in my neighborhood in the middle of a foggy night lol, nothing makes sense
I wonder how many of the people who spend a week's wages on illegal fireworks spend the rest of the year whining about how expensive gas and groceries are... priorities!
Ya, you shouldn't be able to afford fireworks for 4th of july, the DNC ticket...
Celebrating independence from taxes while paying taxes on fireworks to Celebrate?
@@CrabFiles The people wasting their money on them obviously feel like they can afford them. That's their choice - I choose not to waste my money.
And swiping their ebt card
I wouldn’t know I never buy any fireworks when my Mexican neighborhood gives out the best illegal fireworks. What a cliche that illegals popping and celebrating with illegal fireworks that democrats outlawed 😂😂😂😂
We live in a tinderbox but somehow some people think mixing alcohol and fireworks are more important than sanity
Firing off fireworks during a tinder dry fire season is simply irresponsible. People are too stupid to understand the dangers.
70% of CA residents can't live their lives properly, you want them to have responsibility?
If caught exploding fireworks, the perps should be conscripted to fighting fires and/or fire clean-up. Fireworks should be banned FFS.
@@MrM1729That could literally happen. There are prison fire camps.😂
In La there was a drone that flew over the city during the 4th and there wasn’t any fires that started for the amount of people that were doing them
Maybe we should make Independence Day in a wetter season we can't do a lot of things I want to do and it's supposed to free country
Ya I don't know why they bother passing laws anymore. Not enough cops to enforce them and no penalty if you get caught. Well, I should say if you don't own anything, there's no penalty.
This is the first year I had to really fight the fireworks, they kept dumping embers that would trickle down and remained lit! I kept fighting the embers with the hose for literally 4 hours straight. I'm exhausted!! 😡
You're so irresponsible. That's a waste of water. 4 hours of running water
Hmmm...illegal fireworks or illegal aliens. What's the biggest issue? At least the media knows how to distinguish - when it comes to fireworks.
Illegal aliens don’t start this many fires in one night
Yes. The illegal fireworks are the bigger problem. And if you actually did any research instead of being a blowhard you would know that the fires are a WAY bigger problem than immigrants. But by all means, keep listening to what joe dirte says while the rest of us work off of actual facts.
Well, we need immigrants for our economy not sure we need illegal fireworks.
thats so dry out there
Are the illegal fireworks cheap? How do people get so many? The "legal" ones are expensive af. Even a pack of sparklers costs $7 from one of those corner stands but are like $5 in chinatown.
SHOCKER
Omfg its like this is there 1st 4th of july. Its shocking! Media hates freedom. Hey how bout we pay the fire fighters on the 4th of july 4x there normal pay vs trying to band freedom
ppl really have so much $$ to burn. Fireworks didn't stop til 5am this morning in my neighborhood. FK!
More insurance cancellations tomorrow 😆🫵💥💥
Yep, “It looks like your roof is on fire which goes against our policy, so we have canceled your policy. Do not contact us.”
What is the newscaster wearing we’re at 112 degrees 😂 over here.
Air conditioning.
We have a creep who does a weeks long bombardment, untouched…and has done so for years .
Undocumented Fireworks.
My large SoCal city bans all fireworks except for official displays, including enough neighborhood displays to satisfy everyone but die-hard pyros. But it's been unnerving hearing thr constant artillery barrage for days echoing off the mountains from some of the neighboring cities, i half expect to see a burned-out wasteland thr next time I drive north on the 495.
Not really, of course, but I don't understand how people can enjoy fireworks after some of the deadly fires of the last decade or so. Remember when that gender reveal party's fireworks down nesr San diego ended up killing people as well as destroying homes?
People need to re-learn the idea that your freedom ends where someone else's nose begins - if your fun is endangering other people's families and property, find a different way of doing it!
Boohoo
Well when all fireworks are banned you may as well get the good stuff
Ban assault fireworks
oh wow
I keep a state between me and Cali at all times
I live in Vegas. It was just as bad here last night
We don't miss you 👋
@@John-pz6nm LOL, I joined the Navy from San Jose in 79, long before the current problems...
@@jmWhyMe Say what you mean
When the East Bay was predominantly white middle class
It was bucolic
I was responding to the original poster. I would never live in Vegas
Too hot. I don't gamble
Good! We really don't want that type here.
Fireworks laws are about as effective as our gun laws
Antioch is off the hook
I was following the Almaden Lake fire as it blew up and SJFD had to call for help. As a disabled veteran with combat trauma i resent these fireworks like you wouldn't believe, and PD are powerless to stop it. Veterans and animals suffer endlessly during these evenings. That is aside from all the devastation from the fires ...
California should be building more prisons daily
We have plenty already that's closed down
Who are you hiding from, Trump?
you think california is the only state this is happening in ?
Crime is higher in poor red states so maybe start there?
Guys please we are so flammable 😩 they were shooting them off even at midday who TF can even see them?!?!?
The problem is not with people firing fireworks, it's allowing vendors to continue to sell them
Why are we still this fireworks stuff when we are supposed to be going green. Shouldn’t the fireworks be totally banned already since it produces air pollution? 🤔🤔🤔!
just make the fine life changing
requires enforcement in the first place. there is none.
Let freedom ring!
Yes, firework freedom like gun freedom, free to fire and shoot, what's new? No human rights protection!
When will they ever learn? SMDH
In just about every other state this is a typical 4th of July! But in California it’s illegal to show your love country! But I do kind of understand being California is a tinderbox!
WHERE is any sense of COMMUNITY and calling out neighbors ....? These people are the epitomy of selfish-child-like-adults.
people without jobs or any responsibilities have time to do stupid stuff causing fires and disruption for those who do have real responsibilities like getting up for work. if these people had jobs instead of just hanging out they wouldn't have time for this
You think people buying these things have no jobs. 😂😂 people get the day off for Independence Day on some jobs still. Sorry your an old dried up prune that doesn’t understand people trying to have a good time. Maybe instead of banning them like they do they should allow people to do it in open areas and large parking lots. They could teach people how to do it safely. Then we can shame the people who don’t follow those rules. You’re just a lame who doesn’t want us to celebrate America 🇺🇸
Call the Waaaaambulance😭
@@John-pz6nm get a job or intern on one. and show your birth was not a completely useless event.
@@christhompson6010 Get of my lawn
Typical Culture Warrior
Everyone has to think abd be exactly like you
The world is ending
People don't want to work until their fiery death so they can buy stuff
@@John-pz6nm its called following the guidelines of the law for your safety and the others around you. the fact they have to have laws regarding igniting combustible materials in fire prone residential areas around power lines and dry vegetation affecting living animals and the livelihood of others shows just how ignorant some can be. it's really common sense. just goes to show you idiots need laws to.
God bless illegal fireworks. Lol I live on the Muckleshoot reservation it has been the 4th of July here for like a month. 🎉
Always wondered why reservations aren't strict with those fireworks? In central CA ppl would just roll up to those reservations and blow up the sky
The state needs to temporarily deputize citizens on July 4 to enhance enforcement of illegal fireworks. They should also be allowed to taze anyone shooting off fireworks or even possessing them and arrest them with a mandatory 1 year imprisonment with no parole.
Illegal fireworks aren't Illegal if there isn't any enforcement of the law.
Why is this comment section so political
I can hear some of 'em right now. Fire in the distance looks tame though.
If it doesn't rain before, you should most definitely hose down your property before dark on the fourth
I wonder what will be the fine for this illegal fireworks?
National insanity day
That's not cool
i love focusing on fireworks instead of murders, illegal aliens, drugs, rape, all that stuff. got our priorities right, don’t we?
The view from Pier 39 SF had a good view of the fireworks, the fog were just pretty much spectators. The one near Aquatic Park from a farther view looked worse with the fog.
Climate is the new orange 😂
Lol oh please this has been going on for the last 30 plus years. This is not new to us locals
People celebrate the 4th, I celebrate the 5th.
Every year this goes on. Our neighbors across the way were letting off fireworks till 1am in the morning. I reported them to the police around 11:30pm, what good it did, I don't know because at 1am they were still firing aerial fireworks here in the East Bay! Worse thing about this is we live near Lime Ridge here in Concord, we already had a fire up there this week, one of those hot ambers hit that dry grass you can kiss that whole ridge goodbye!! 😡
its not just bay area, its whole California. what do you expect when the word "illegal" has no meaning in this state.
I did my own fireworks once, when it was legal. Found a nice big wide open field so nothing would catch fire and used a bucket of sand to set each kaboom stick. Didn’t have a single problem other then burning through $50 of fireworks in like 15min lol.
such good reporting
I wonder if they gave people a free legal and safe venue to launch their fireworks if that would reduce fires, and make it easier to catch the remaining criminals.
Do any cities enforce illegal fireworks laws anymore? In my city last night, it looked and sounded like the battle of Stalingrad in WWII.
All it will take is one law suit for a city or County to step in and out law fireworks.
Great job, geniuses
Einsteins I call them
I highly respect the gentleman* in the light blue t-shirt for his allegiance. The reporters, not so much. They're textbook just wow, awful.
How can they of four to buy firewood instead of using dump money for food nowadays food is so expensive so you choose firework instead of food how smart is that? I understand it’s Fourth of July but feeding your family should come first then celebrating what’s wrong with American citizens have we becomeJoe Biden senile
Homelessness is illegal, and start fires all the time but you give them money instead of giving them a fine
Ban all legal and illegal fireworks. It’s not necessary and very obnoxious way to celebrate anything. Rediculous and so noisy till 2 am very stupid way to honor something that happened over 400 hundred years ago somebody help. !!!!!
It's funny each yr...
I would like to see how many 911 Fireworks called and how many citations were given or responded to.
I called 911 when over 30 Adults not from the neighborhood started shooting off skyrockets. 911 operator stated to call non-emergency line, but will relay message.
This went on for an hour until some of the fireworks ignited underneath a neighbors cars. I stopped them from firing off any more, but the group stayed around for another hour before leaving.
Another group came around after midnight, I called the non-emergency line. The group left 20 minutes later after finishing their fireworks.
Not a single Patrol Car came by. If I can expect Cops not to show up, then I know I have to take care of this early and on my own.
Those groups don't care if the homes catch fire, They don't care to pick up the trash they leave behind. They are smart enough to risk your life & possessions without risking their own.
haha a mask hahaha
Well you know they most likely made it across customs from overseas from China and Taiwan. It seems there isn't as many busts as with drugs.
Oh look. It's the youtube comments. Better pretend like I wasn't enjoying the show and take a moral stance on legality.
people attempting to get ready for work aren't enjoying this
Undocumented fireworks thank you
I’m about to quit watching news: half the clip is blathering on about the anchor’s names. I don’t care, go on with the news!
timestamp, please. I couldn't find it.
Why are we allowed to purchase this fireworks? It should be banned since it’s very risky for public safety and community
State says there illegal…but allows the sale…
I love the illegal fireworks the legal ones suck and I feel are a waste of money
Oh noez people celebrating independence with fireworks on July 4th! Fireworks are only gov approved at a BLM riot or at over priced venues. Quick somebody stop them! LOl
God Bless America ! The right to celebrate Independence from the British Rule
In Texas we can buy them
Even here in the Midwest we are concerned about fireworks. Needless to say, CA is extremely vulnerable.
And it's just like alcohol gotta drink responsible
Happy Diwali to the people of America 😂
Water is wet
I love visiting Marin County, California. Every little city is a hidden gem, even if to stop and get gasoline. 😅
SOunded like some AJAY Jaarhead was literally bombing San JOse last night, we all felt his anger too what a Whack Job!!!
the outlawing of certain fireworks is going so well I can see how the gun bans would make a real difference…
and police as usual don't do shxx
My fireworks are the only official ones. We have no more rule of law in this country IMO.
Sorry, but Americans are going to celebrate the 4th with fireworks. I know we live in California, not America, but still
sorry but that's what the fireworks shows are for by professionals away from residential areas. couldn't care less about what people do with their own lives but dont do around residential areas that can but other people safety at risk
I guess cigarettes, Christmas trees, and barbecue grills should also be illegal since they cause more fires than fireworks do.

Oh no!
Anyways...
get rekt karens
We really need to go back to eye for an eye punishment.
Ban all fireworks including the so called safe
Never gonna happen. If anything more states are legalizing them like Florida did in April of 2020
Liberty at its finest, go Johnny Go!
bs bs
CAN'T OUTLAW FREEDOM
starting fire is not freedom
What freedom got to do with illegal fireworks or any illegal activity for that matter? You are free to commit crimes but be ready to face the consequences
These are Migrant fireworks just looking for a better light
I moved to Seattle several years ago and have really enjoyed lighting full sized fireworks in my driveway and think there should be places where you can set them off. That being said this year has been especially and I haven't gotten more than a few hours sleep the past 2 nights because of window shaking booms at 3 am. A holiday isn't too much fun when you can't sleep so please people show a little bit of consideration and only light you're fire works on the 4th and stop at midnight. As much as I like fireworks I like sleep more and will be voting for a complete fireworks ban if I can't sleep tonight.
The Town was lit as usual
Uncountable amount and spots😂
