"More people are watching the fire than the fireworks," a spectator commented on this Facebook video.

A BlueClaws spokesman said the Lakewood Fire Department acted quickly and extinguished the fire in a safe manner on Monday night, July 4.

"It was pretty unbelievable. And the fireworks just kept going and going," said Erin Leahy Mauterer, who chronicled the fire on video. "If you can believe it, they continued with the fireworks presentation after the fire was cleared. Even the little kids ran the bases at the end! Unbelievable. So fun, albeit a little scary."

The fire appeared to damage some hedges.

No one was reported hurt.
