Illegal fireworks appear to spark fire in Sacramento's Delta Shores

WE’RE GOING TO GO BACK OUT TO THAT. NOW. BREAKING NEWS. WE WERE WATCHING SOME FIREWORKS BEING SET OFF IN THE DELTA SHORES AREA SOUTH OF SACRAMENTO, JUST OFF OF I-5 AND EDIE. WE’RE WATCHING THIS. OUR CAMERA IS JUST HAPPENS TO BE IN THIS AREA. AND YOU SEE THAT RED ORANGE GLOW WITH A LOT OF SMOKE THAT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS NOW A FIRE ON THE GROUND. AND FIREWORKS STILL GOING OFF ALL AROUND IT. YEAH, YOU CAN SEE FIREWORKS TO THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT OF THIS FIRE THAT’S BURNING.

On the ground, it was easier to see the dangers illegal fireworks pose during a dry heat wave. KCRA 3 had several news crews and photographers throughout the region, who were able to see a large amount of illegal fireworks being set off. "We had calls ranging from wildfires to our normal medical aids to structure fires and buildings burning. We had so many issues against us. We had the heat, we have the dry vegetation, and we've got people lighting off incendiary devices in their front porches," said Parker Wilburn, a spokesperson for Sacramento Metro Fire.
