Safe and sane fireworks go on sale Wednesday at select cities around the Bay Area, and even in those places where they're legal for Fourth of July use, there are tight restrictions.
With the holiday less than a week away, licensed nonprofits have partnered with select cities to sell safe and sane fireworks. One of those cities is Dublin, where there are 15 licensed fireworks booths.
