A fire broke out on the Brooklyn Bridge during New York City's July Fourth fireworks show, producing visible flames and smoke before firefighters extinguished the blaze with two fire engines. No injuries were reported. The bridge had been closed to traffic during the show, which was moved up early due to the threat of severe weather that also canceled or delayed other East Coast celebrations. A fire department spokesperson noted such fires are not unexpected and explained why crowds are kept at a distance.
