Laguna Beach Police 'Out In Force' This 4th Of July 2018

The Laguna Beach Police Department shared this message from LBFD, regarding a zero-tolerance policy on all types of fireworks.

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — You're at a party, someone brings out the sparklers. What do you do?

This year, according to the Laguna Beach Police Department, it's a good idea to walk away and better yet, to remind your friends that all forms of fireworks in the city are illegal.

This year, when it comes to wanting to see those fireworks on the ground or "bursting in air," your best bet is to view the city's show. The Laguna Beach Police and Fire Departments launched the above public service message, reminding residents and visitors that if you set off fireworks, you will be cited this year.
