The 4th of July may be over, but Bakersfield firefighters are still looking for people who set off illegal fireworks. Hundreds of calls were received over the holiday to report illegal sparklers, and Chief Anthony Galagaza says they’re following up on many of them.

Banned fireworks injured two people, including a two-year-old girl over the weekend. Police also arrested two people, handed out 78 citations, and seized 625 pounds of illegal fireworks.
