Multiple videos have surfaced Thursday evening showing a fireworks display at the Stadium of Fire concert in Provo, Utah, with rogue shots straying into the audience. Early reports state that one person was taken to a hospital with serious injuries while others were reportedly injured. Several firefighters immediately responded to reports of injuries in the crowd, according to Fox 13 in Salt Lake City.
Fireworks shot into the sunlit sky vertically, but stray sparks are seen firing horizontally into the crowd near the stage. Crowdgoers were reportedly seen waving their hands in the air for officials to render help. Freedom Festival, which facilitates Stadium of Fire and other yearly events across the country, tweeted that all fireworks were 'thoroughly checked' before Thursday’s show and then checked again after the incident. 'Safety is of the utmost importance to us.
The number of injuries and each of their severities is unknown at the time. Videos like the one seen in this tweet show pyrotechnics not only firing into the stands, but also onto the field where people were either standing or in a seated area.
