Re: Update
Basically, my buddy decided he wanted to pick up fireworks in New Hampshire. I went with, as I had some me time. Got some neat stuff, all of it dangerous. I figure he's going to stockpile it for our Summer camping trip up to Fourth Lake.
No. Genius decided he's going to have his own Pyrotechnic Spectacular behind his house.
Now, granted, he's got a lot of open land. So chances of a fire are minimal. It's not dry here, so the grass is green and healthy and saturated. However, genius that he is, doesn't listen to me, his brother who's an engineer/carpenter, or his father-in-law who's a retired fireman when we tell him "you're doing it wrong"
Yep, sets one off, the launcher that it's in was not secured. Tips over, shoots back into the garage and hits half of the fireworks in there as it explodes, catching a propane tank and two gas cans on fire, exploding the doors off the garage, shattering the windows and immediately igniting everything.
Burned down in about 23 minutes. I mean just burned. There was no saving it. We called the fire dept, they got there within 7 minutes, and basically said "Well, we'll keep it from spreading but that thing is done.
Yep. Fireworks.
