## Resource

Dallas police shut down two major illegal fireworks operations over the Fourth of July, seizing nearly a ton of explosives—over 1,800 pounds—to keep the city safe. One raid on Elsie Faye Heggins Street nabbed 1,400 pounds from a U-Haul and van, while another on Penelope Street added 400 more pounds. Both busts resulted in citations, and authorities stress that selling or possessing fireworks in Dallas is strictly illegal to prevent fires, injuries, and property damage. Investigations are ongoing as officials remain vigilant to protect the community.
