5:32 am
ryan: the issue that we have right now is professional fireworks displays that people are allowed to attend, there aren't as many happening because there aren't as many professional fireworks. that is because of the supply chain issue that is also hitting the industry hard. most of them are made and imported from china and because of the supply chain issue, there are many right now. this is leaving more people doing back yard and illegal fireworks displays. according to the american pyrotechnic association, sales of those fireworks have been booming since the pandemic. this is a concern because we are in the midst of wildfire season and we've already seen multiple fires here in the bay area just in the last weeks. san jose fire says 90 fires over the last two fourth of july's were related to backyard fireworks. >> i've hoped it is because
