People who tried to watch the largest Fourth of July fireworks show in North Texas went home disappointed. The show in Fort Worth ended early after a grass fire broke out just a few minutes into the show.
Fort Worth’s Fourth of July fireworks was canceled Monday night after a grass fire broke out on the bank of the Trinity River.
Firefighters could be seen putting out the fires as an announcer encouraged everyone in the crowd to go home. FOX 4 talked to 8-year-old Milady McZick on a quick swim break. She took a moment to model her summer fashion. "You also have on both sides of the river first aid stations so if somebody is feeling like they’re getting kind of hot, they just kind of need to get in the shade and cool off. There’s a first aid station again on both sides of the river," said Matt Oliver, a spokesman for the Tarrant Regional Water District, the organization that puts on the event.
"Security obviously is paramount, right. It’s the most important thing for this event. Going into the planning, I mean it’s a local, regional and federal partnership," Oliver said. "There’s different gates people can come into. There’s security at every single one of those gates. For security reasons, and this isn’t just this year, there’s no coolers that are allowed."
