A staffer in the office of 5th district Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske told LBReport.com that they've been advised of the upcoming filming. The staffer noted that the Office of Special Events & Filming handles permits citywide, including enforcing compliance with conditions and safety measures.
The site area isn't far from the El Dorado Park fire station (north of Wardlow Rd.)
As separately reported on our front page, downtown LB recently saw "explosions" for another film project (we posted pix at www.lbreport.com). However, the downtown "explosions" didn't involve a helicopter...and (judging by the photos of the downtown explosion), the planned "fireball" in El Dorado Park may be bigger.
