Illegal fireworks confiscated

The state Fire Marshal’s office thinks it confiscated about 500 pounds of illegal fireworks in the days just before July 4th. Deputy state fire marshal Randy Cole took two pickup loads of illegal fireworks to a secure bunker. He says they’re homemade, illegal devices. And Cole says some dealers were selling the more powerful commercial fireworks. One dealer is accused of changing the labels to make them appear to be the lower-powered consumer versions.
