Not just fireworks factories, I remember all the fireworks for a 4th of July show catching fire with 2 dead and another severely burned because of a careless mistake. Ft. Myers area back in 03, think it was a cigarette but not real sure as I was busy with my wife helping her settle her mother’s last husband’s affairs.Ammunition plants and much worse are powder production facilities often go up. Fireworks factories are the worse of the worst for going up and killing people

Careless use of fireworks for sure. A few years ago, I think in Peru, a street that specialized in fireworks vendors caught fire and a block or two was destroyed and a lot of people killed. I have often felt that I would have been justified in shooting tracers in the general direction of the idiots that fire fireworks rockets that landed on my forested areas of my little estate. Real bunch of rectal apertures for sure.Not just fireworks factories, I remember all the fireworks for a 4th of July show catching fire with 2 dead and another severely burned because of a careless mistake.

The Mesa Redonda fire occurred on Saturday, 29 December 2001 in Lima, Peru. The disaster killed at least 291[1] people and injured at least another 134.[2]
Origin
In 2001, the Mesa Redonda shopping center, located in Central Lima, consisted of largely of wood and adobe houses lining narrow streets. In December, fireworks merchants were known to sell their goods for holiday celebrations.[3] Wary of the danger, the municipal government of Lima declared the area an "emergency zone."[3]
The fire began at about 7:30 PM on the night of 29 December when a fireworks display created a chain reaction, setting off the fireworks of other nearby vendors.[4] A spark from the demonstration had landed on a stockpile of fireworks, creating the initial explosion.[5] The aftermath created a "wall of fire" that spread for four blocks and raged for several hours.[4]
Gas pipelines routinely go to chemical plants; there is an old gas pipeline that crosses the Escambia wet lands and also river going to the Ascend/Solutia/Monsanto site. I do not know if it is active.Pepcon...3.5 on the richter scale. Hint, it ain't the first two...

That one caught the attention of every Firefighter in the world.
Probably would have helped if they hadn't put a chemical plant right over a natural gas pipeline...
