City of Pittsburgh redeploys Fireworks Task Force ahead of holiday
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The City of Pittsburgh is bringing back its Fireworks Task Force.
From June 30 until July 5, some city police and public safety crews will respond to fireworks-related calls throughout the city.
On top of their patrols, police are also offering tips to make sure those using fireworks do so safely.
That includes reminders to never light them off within 150 feet of a building or car, in the direction of another person or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Lighting fireworks off is also prohibited in all city parks and playing fields.
To find out when your community is lighting off fireworks for the holiday, check out KDKA’s fireworks guide here.

HAMPTON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) — Founded in 1960, Wildwood Golf Club is hidden gem here in the Pittsburgh area and features one of nicest Par 4’s in all of Western Pennsylvania.
“Number 13 at Wildwood is just a beautiful golf hole,” said Wildwood Head Golf Professional David Yokitis.
Not only is #13 beautiful, but a demanding dogleg right that can play up to 430 yards.
“It requires a little bit of a fade off the tee,” Yokitis said. “Hitting the fairway is a must off the first shot here.”
Hitting the fairway requires a precise shot from the tee with a fairway bunker on the right and trees on the left.
“If you blow it way right, you can hit it out of bounds down the right side,” Yokitis said.
“Anything on this green is a bonus,” Yokitis said, speaking to the difficulty of the hole, which features a deceptively-large green.
“You take your 4 and you move on,” Yokitis said of making a par alongside KDKA-TV’s Rich Walsh.
