Syracuse Fire Department Michael Monds made a plea to stop using illegal fireworks. He also reviewed what's legal and what's not and gave safety tips.

Owens said job reductions and cuts to services will be needed without funding to the City from Washington. “The federal government must step up and deliver,” Gillibrand said. “I will fight to ensure local governments get the help they need.” Gillibrand said she hopes an aid program will be in place by early August.
