Ridgewood NJ, the Firework show ended early due to a malfunction that caused shells to explode on the ground in the launch area. No injuries were reported .
The unplanned detonation did not happen near the crowd. Ridgewood firefighters were in position when the misfire occurred and quickly responded to and extinguished fire.
This is why safety areas are established and emergency plans in place. There have been accidents before and Ridgewood public safety personnel have been there to keep residents safe.
