6:14 pm
explosive fireworks. >> even the safe and sane there's always a danger they'll malfunction. they do have flash powder in them like everything else. they just don't have as much. i think a lot of people believe these are just fireworks, but they're really not. everything dangerous to explosives is completely against the law anywhere in the state. in california these are explosive devices. they have enough powder to meet that criteria for the state law. they go boom. >> reporter: and surrounding police agencies like san jose are on the lookout for anybody bringing in any type of fireworks. >> we are discouraging anybody from possessing or using fireworks on their own whether they be considered illegal or safe and sane. >> we want to have fun but we don't want to blow nobody's house up. we're all trying to be safe and just have fun out there. it's fourth of july. you have to celebrate, family barbecue, that's it. >> that was really cute.
