July 4: San Francisco Firefighters Battle More Than 100 Blazes Triggered By Fireworks
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- The city's annual Fourth of July fireworks show on the Embarcadero may have been canceled this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic but that didn't stop residents from lighting up the skies with illegal fireworks.
In addition, a fire reported about 9:30 a.m. Sunday was burning multiple acres at the Gleneagles Golf Course at McLaren Park, with about 25 department personnel at the scene.
Fireworks also sparked a blaze on a rooftop at 2500 Arelious Walker Dr.

There were multiple reports of fireworks and sideshows happening throughout the city's Mission District.
Over a two-hour period Saturday night, San Francisco firefighters were called out to more than a dozen blazes.
