Multiple Southern California fireworks shows have been canceled following a state investigation into the company hired to provide the pyrotechnics.
The cities of Lancaster, Palmdale, La Puente and Lynwood were among those forced to cancel or revise their shows after the California State Fire Marshal raided the warehouse of Exposhows Inc. in Kern County,,,,,
,, ,.,David MacCormick, a spokesman for Exposhows, said via email that the company is a "small family owned business that has been providing safe entertainment to communities in California for decades."
He said that the display fireworks in their possession were all legally purchased and that the company was proud of its track record of safe shows.
"To Exposhows, this appears to be an overreaction by the State Fire Marshal office, and so far no charges have been filed or disclosed to Exposhows to comment upon," MacCormick said. "It is a shame that the [State Fire Marshal] has abruptly decided to seize the fireworks just prior to being released from Exposhows’ facility to the display sites, wrongfully depriving those affected communities of experiencing another safe and entertaining Fourth of July Celebration to express their spirit of community and patriotism."

They got to go to a bogus workaround.
This is disgusting.
Not good weather for fireworks, as it turns out. Too windy.
Course, that won’t stop salt-of-the-earth Palmdalians and Lancastrians from setting their own fireworks off in the streets.
Best put ear muffs on the pupplies.
First they came for our fireworks, then they came for our guns.
Just part of the Rats’ “F*** the 4th” agenda
The Country has a nasty Rat infestation.
Just like when the Grinch stole Christmas, but Christmas came all the same, taking away fireworks does not cancel Independence Day. It will come (and be celebrated by true Patriots) fireworks or no fireworks.
God Bless America.
Government would have hell to pay if these grinches stole Christmass. When it comes to the celebration of freedom, these grinches steal the 4th with no regrets. I can see through their effort. I say they are doing it for the planet. Right? In fact, they are joyous and swallow their champagne in celebration over what they have pulled over on the serfs. They might even be slapping themselves on their backs for saving the planet by keeping the serfs from burning fossil fuels traveling to the fireworks shows.
I think there should be a nobody go to work week to save on the supply of gasoline. Such a strike would cut down the demand and really drive gas prices down. It would be a big slap in the face for those Green grinches.
I guess they didn’t pay their tribute money to Newsome huh?
There’s got to be a backstory here that isn’t being reported. The family-owned company putting on the shows has been doing it safely for decades.
I’m guess the Big Guy wasn’t happy with his 5% after demanding the usual 10%.
Many places are too dry for fireworks.

They are accused of fraud,
zero to do with “too dry “
Do you make excuses for commie b.s. often ?
Where was this commie loving state fire marshal when antifa and balm were chucking fireworks at police ?
Was THAT following state fireworks laws ?
We’re THOSE fireworks legally obtained ?
Crickets.
The leftist have wanted to eliminate the 4th of July for many years now...They keep chipping away at it, just like the 2nd Amendment, 1st Amendment etc.
The 4th stands for everything they hate.
But traditionally, without fireworks there is no 4th of July.
You bet....It’s OK for BLM and Anfifa to torch and loot cities from coast to coast, as the cops stood gawking, but dammit, don’t get caught with any firework while trying to celebrate the 4th at some pollution spewing BBQ..
“But traditionally, without fireworks there is no 4th of July.”
Yes, but for me it isn’t the municipal aerial displays, it’s the bottle rockets, Roman candles, and cherry bombs. 21 gun salutes by veterans and maybe a line of reenactors with muskets can help. The aerial displays are a waste of money.
Some aparatchicks didn’t get their palms crossed with silver.
The Tories who didn’t leave after 1782 have morffed to become our leftist of today.
Exactly. Anyone so-called patriot who can’t celebrate our independence on the 4th just because there are no aerial fireworks is pretty weak sauce. If they outlawed Christmas trees and Nativity sets, you can bet I’d still celebrate Christmas.
