More than 100,000 pounds of illegal fireworks were seized Wednesday, May 21 in Commerce,  following an investigation into a licensed fireworks importer/exporter suspected of violating state laws and licensing regulations, Cal Fire announced.

The seizure was prompted by a report that the licensee was not complying with safety and storage requirements mandated by the Cal Fire Office of the State Fire Marshal. Officials said the fireworks were being stored and possibly distributed in violation of the terms of the operator’s license. Authorities Wednesday did not identify the licensee.
