Fort Worth Fourth Fireworks were cut very short Monday night after fireworks started a grass fire.
Video from SKY 4 Tuesday captured the aftermath of hundreds of grass fires that sparked over the Fourth of July holiday. That organization is a San Antonio-based company called "Magic in the Sky." On Monday, pyrotechnics crews were seen dismantling the rest of the unused fireworks. "With the hot dry conditions combined with fireworks used, we think that contributed a lot to what we responded to not only last night but the entire weekend," he said.Some fires sparked underneath city bridges, like the Commerce Street Viaduct. Luckily, no one was hurt, and no structures were burned.
