At 5 33, it is Independence Day and several bay area bay areas are holding parties. Fireworks are legal. Reporter theyre legal here because Police Department and the Fire Department are ready to go.

Some other places are not doing that and theyre afraid of fires and how dry things are. Social security illegal in places like san jose. If you come to union city and buy it here and think you are so smart and driving down to san jose to light it off, thats not happening. There is only a handful of bay area cities are selling fireworks including dublin and most places just like this place, theyre ready to go. Other places wont allow you to light fireworks. Theyre basically fire crackers that you can light up. San jose, theyre fearful that even fire crackers can start a fire and thats why theyll have extra patrol in that city starting at 4 00 in the afternoon all the way to 1 00 in the morning.
