KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Officials with the Oak Grove, Missouri, Parks and Recreation Department are reviewing a mishap during the grand finale of last Thursday’s fireworks display.
Video from a live stream of the display on July 3 showed residents taking in fireworks and patriotic music. As the grand finale started, some fireworks appeared to misfire, sending sparks into an area where onlookers were watching the display.
Officials say they launched an investigation into the incident with the pyrotechnic company that conducted the show.
“Our hearts are with those that were affected by this and we’d like to offer our assistance if there’s anything more we can do,” the parks and recreation department posted Friday on social media.
