THEN THERE WERE 6: Today is the last day fireworks are legal in Westminster. . . . Thursday it joins the majority in Orange County, leaving just six cities where personal fireworks can be sold and set off: Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Orange and Santa Ana. . . . Five of them have extra patrols looking for illegal fireworks, but Costa Mesa has given up. . . . “I’ve tried it--I even tried the police helicopter--but it’s a waste of time,” says city Fire Marshal Tom Macduff. “Trying to find just the illegal ones is a nightmare. The only way you can enforce anything is to enforce it against all fireworks.”
