## Resource

Reedley’s police and fire departments pulled off a massive fireworks bust—seizing over three thousand pounds of illegal explosives, including aerial mortars and homemade devices, valued at $50K–$60K, all headed for the Fourth of July. Triggered by a fire chief’s crackdown on out-of-state and overseas imports, this was the biggest seizure in the police chief’s 28-year career, complete with a high-speed chase ending in Fresno and arrests for felony evading. The operation’s goal? To slash fire hazards, injuries, and property damage before the holiday. Seized fireworks are now under state fire marshal custody for safe disposal—while law enforcement keeps the streets safe so everyone can enjoy the show without the danger.
