The City of Los Angeles held Saturday a fireworks-buyback program in Mission Hills, hoping to cut down on the use of illegal pyrotechnics on the Fourth of July.

Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore reminded residents that possession and use of fireworks in the city is illegal -- even if they are purchased outside the city limits.
