Storage shed for fireworks destroyed by blaze in Kingsland

KINGSLAND — The rockets’ red glare — and a few other colors as well — lit up the township’s night sky Oct. 17 after a blaze apparently set off fireworks stored in a large shed, witnesses said.

Rhonda Bridges, who lives three-quarters of a mile from where the fire erupted about 9 p.m. just off of RR 1431 at Brown Street, said it sounded like several explosions going off at once.
