Fire breaks out on Brooklyn Bridge during New York’s fireworks show
FDNY said two fire engines extinguished the flames within about a minute, and officials reported no injuries during the annual fireworks display.
- A fire broke out on Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday following the July Fourth fireworks display in New York, with firefighters dousing the flames shortly before 10 p.m. on the East River side while the bridge remained closed to traffic.
- Severe weather along the East Coast forced organizers to move up the fireworks display early, with storms also disrupting celebrations marking America's 250th anniversary in Washington and prompting a roughly two-hour evacuation of the National Mall.
- Flashing emergency lights illuminated the scene as firefighters deployed two fire engines to combat the blaze, with jets of water visible in livestream footage captured by the Associated Press as crews worked to extinguish the flames.
- Officials are working to determine what ignited the fire and assess damage to the iconic structure, with the cause and extent of harm to Brooklyn Bridge remaining unclear as the investigation continues.
