## Resource

Orange County’s Fourth of July crackdown on illegal fireworks is heating up—with new rules targeting not just hosts, but even spectators. Cities like Anaheim, Fullerton, and Buena Park are enforcing social host laws, while Orange adds a twist: fines now extend to anyone present when fireworks are ignited, possessed, or sold—even from your own backyard. Officials clarify that passive viewing won’t automatically land you a ticket, but the move aims to deter attendance at illegal displays. Drones will help track violators, with fines topping $1,000. Mayor Dan Slater stresses safety and noise concerns, but admits enforcement is tricky—so don’t host, don’t watch, and definitely don’t buy illegal fireworks.
