As the one-year anniversary of the deadly fireworks explosion at Aliamanu approaches, law enforcement is taking additional measures to prepare for New Year’s Eve.

Hawaii Department of Law Enforcement director Mike Lambert shared with Spotlight Now plans to blanket the island of Oahu through manpower and technology by Dec. 31.

Emergency Medical Services director Dr. Jim Ireland said the Aliamanu explosion, which killed six people and injured 20 more, was the worst call of his 40-year career.
