By Dallas police and fire officials are reporting the seizure of nearly a ton of illegal fireworks on the Fourth of July. Dallas Fire-Rescue’s Arson Division and the DPD’s Southeast Division carried out the joint operations on Saturday.
Investigators caught somebody illegally selling fireworks out of a U-Haul truck and a van on Elsie Faye Heggins Street near Second Avenue. That was good for 14 hundred pounds of fireworks and two citations. Officers seized 400 more pounds of fireworks and issued a citation that evening at a home on Penelope Street.
