For the second year in row, a fireworks display accidentally ignited a fire at a river resort in western Arizona.
The BlueWater Resort and Casino in Parker along the Colorado River posted on Facebook that there were no injuries in Monday night’s brush fire.
The Parker Fire Department, with help from the Colorado River Indian Tribes and Buckskin Fire Department, had the blaze under control.
Some spectators posted photos of the flames on social media and others posted video.
A firefighter was injured when the same thing happened at the resort last Fourth of July after an explosion during the show.
