Cass County, ND (trfnews.i234.me) – The Fargo-Moorhead area saw multiple fire incidents late on July 4th, with one particularly notable fire reported at 1804 39th Street South near the Century Theater in Fargo.
A witness reported seeing a vehicle possibly damaged by fireworks that had tipped over and was being pulled away. At the same time, firefighters were battling a fire in a nearby dumpster. The origin of the fire remains under investigation, but it’s suspected that fireworks played a role.
This incident is part of a larger pattern — several vegetation fires were also reported around the FM metro area throughout the evening as Fourth of July celebrations turned dangerous.
Authorities are expected to release additional information as investigations continue into the cause and extent of the damage in each case.
