Illegal Fireworks have been creating an extreme safety concern & havoc for our businesses and residential areas in East Gardena & Harbor Gateway. These displays are often seen throughout the entire City of Los Angeles, Gardena, Compton, Carson, and the South Bay. This above video was taken last year. The results from this show destroyed a bedroom in the neighboring area.
In early June, I hosted a meeting in the City of Gardena with local businesses & building owners from New Century Drive. Officials from Supervisor Mitchell's office, Congressmember Barragan's office along with Compton Sheriff Station, CHP South Los Angeles, Gardena Police Department came together to discuss solutions. Compton Sheriff has increased patrols in this specific area. They have been able to stop these illegal displays within minutes.
Last week, we invited Joel Grover from NBCLA to do a follow up story on the illegal fireworks and share our safety concerns. The segment will air on Tuesday, June 25th at 6pm. I am working to find every available solution in order to prevent a catastrophic event from happening.
