## Resource

East Oakland’s Fourth of July turned chaotic as illegal fireworks erupted in dangerous ways — igniting a tree, sparking flames that damaged cars and sent debris flying. Fireworks were even launched from moving vehicles and intersections, turning streets into hazardous zones. While some neighborhoods reported calmer, cleaner celebrations, city crews scrambled Sunday to clean up debris and spent fireworks. Officials haven’t yet released arrest stats, but the night underscored a critical message: safety and responsibility must guide holiday festivities.
