Summary
Territory Day turned into a pyrotechnic nightmare as emergency crews raced to contain over 150 incidents, including grass fires, a shed blaze, and even a car set ablaze—some sparked from shopping carts and moving vehicles. Thirty-six people, including a four-year-old, suffered firework-related injuries, sparking public outrage online as locals dubbed the festivities a “warzone.” Despite a slight drop from last year, the chaos has reignited debate over the legality and safety of widespread firework use. Fire and emergency crews worked tirelessly, and while no arrests have been confirmed, the legal window for fireworks has officially closed until next year.
