Inside the fireworks black market

California's is "the most flammable places on earth," says a fire official, but through Craigslist and other websites, consumers can get around the state's ban on fireworks by selling goods brought in from Nevada and other states.  These dealers may seem like underground underdogs, but experts say they are businessmen like any other. "The mistake is to think of this as fly by night stuff- these are really serious people and they are as entrepreneurial, innovative and venturous as anyone you’d meet in Silicon Valley.”  An investigation of illegal firework traffic, on Youth Radio.
