The Lompoc Police Department has issued its first illegal fireworks citation of the season which carries a $1500 fine.
The city has a zero tolerance policy and is using addition police and firefighters to enforce it.
Illegal fireworks include all launched, exploding, and otherwise ignited fireworks that do not meet the "safe and sane" definition.
Permitted "safe and sane" fireworks can be used within the city only on the 4th of July and only until 10:00 p.m.
