Instead of a fireworks show, the city of La Puente set up a laser show for the community Sunday after the city's firework contractor had their permit revoked as a part of an investigation by the state fire marshal.
"I think it was really cool that they were still able to put together this laser show. It would've been cool to see fireworks, but this was awesome, too," Covina resident Amanda Carrera said."They made the best out of the situation.""It was really disappointing that there was no fireworks, but lights were nice," Upland resident Lauren Ramirez said.
Lynwood, Lancaster, Palmdale and Madera were all in similar situations with the same fireworks contractor.
