SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. - After a deadly firework explosion claimed two lives in Ontario earlier this year, the San Bernardino County Fire Department created a new way for residents to report illegal firework use.
In mid-March an illegal firework explosion rocked a neighborhood in Ontario, resulting in the death of two people and cost over $3 million worth of damage.
Over 80 homes were evacuated. Residents have reported illegal firework use for some time but say nothing was done about it by law enforcement.
