Fireworks Fiasco on Maple Hills

KBUR reported of illegal fireworks going off near Circle K Gas Station as well as surrounding areas. Police were on scene filming each of the individuals who were responsible.  It was reported that fireworks were being shot off both at people and vehicles.

Nearby residents photographed and filmed different areas of the scene before and after the fireworks were shut off.  Broken glass was seen on the street as a street cleaner rolled around to clean up the mess.











On U.S. 34, a small fire ignited near the road as a result from firework use days before the fireworks incident on Maple.



Burlington Council member Tim Scott expressed on KBUR radio later in the week on the culprit's Facebook status that was provided to him at the city council meeting.  He read the post that was made the day of the incident prior to fireworks being fired off.




The former Chicago resident now a Burlington resident reported to have a large amount of friends liking and commenting on the status making him an influence of the violence the night of the incident.
