At the end of the Tuesday, June 25, 2013 Laguna Hills City Council Meeting, Mayor Barbara Kogerman reminded us about attending the City's event on July 4th and added that if the fireworks don't work this time, Channing's job is on the line. City Manager Bruce Channing added, "I may have to fire myself". Everyone laughed then, but we don't know if anyone is laughing now because for the 3rd year in a row, the fireworks display in the City of Laguna Hills Community Center Sports Field, playing to a fully packed audience, ended after about 10 minutes due to technical difficulties. We heard that it was stopped by the fire department and we're sure we'll hear more details later but we wanted to be the first to break the stunning events surrounding this news story and the first to say goodbye to our very long time City Manager Mr. Bruce Channing, whom we know we can all trust to stand by his word! We'll miss you Bruce!!!

What can I say? Is this the third year there was a problem with the fireworks.
I hope they don’t get paid.
I suggest next year they provide a performance bond, if they don’t complete the show they pay a penalty to the good people of Laguna Hills that were cheated out of the nation’s birthday display.
Someone should also tell the fireman that canceled the fireworks, The Show Must Go On.
Thank you
I was there and the fireworks were a huge fail. And what was up with the heart shapes? Left overs from valentines day? 3rd year in a row some one needs to be fired! As for the fire department shouting it down, if it was unsafe it should be shut down. I have no problem with them keeping us safe from cheap council members buying defective fireworks.
I agree! I feel cheated. Third year in a row. We should get a redo. Once again robbed of a great show. Should of went somewhere else
After 2 or 3 shells went off just above ground level the show stopped. Is there a tie to th Simi Valley incident? Same faulty fireworks?
After a couple shells went off at ground level the show was cancelled. Any tie to the Simi Valley problem?
The Show Must Go On was the feeling amongst the crowd last night...
I walked out on my back yard slope to get an unobstructed view of the LH fireworks. I thought that they lasted for only 5 minutes. The firework display appears to be consistent with Bruce's management of the City--you don't get what you pay for.
Time for new management. That's the trouble with our city we have incompetent people in place. One I can understand but two failures is two too much.
