Illegal Fireworks Shatter Scripps Ranch Peace | San Diego News
Description
At 1 AM on a Tuesday, Scripps Ranch residents were jolted awake by a deafening fireworks blast—mistaken for gunfire—triggered by illegal consumer fireworks set off in a local park. Fire crews warn this kind of reckless behavior is dangerously common, especially in areas prone to wildfires, and has caused thousands of injuries nationwide. Police arrived too late, catching only empty boxes and a fleeing rider on an e-bike. Local officials stress that public, legal displays on July 3rd and 4th are the only safe option—and the fines for illegal fireworks? Up to $2,000. No spectacle is worth losing a limb.
