Definitely not safe, but my god it looked amazing.
There are some things you just don’t expect to ever happen. This would be fairly high on that list.
A firework shop in South Carolina burst into flames on Thursday, 4 July, and it looked exactly as incredible as you’d guess it would.
Naturally, a number of the surrounding roads were closed for over an hour, as firefighters attempted to deal with the scenes.
It took crews about 45 minutes to douse the flames, and no firefighters were injured, according to the Charlotte Observer.
Sky News shared a video on their Twitter account, which you can see here:

York County Sheriff also shared an alternate angle of the incident, which you can see here:

That is genuinely incredible.
There was plenty of firework celebrations in the US to celebrate the fourth of July, but this is something else altogether.
Other videos posted on social media by witnesses showed firefighters ducking to dodge fireworks as they shot into the air.
Not something you see every day.
