FDNY said two fire engines extinguished the flames within about a minute, and officials reported no injuries during the annual fireworks display.
- A fire broke out on Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday following the July Fourth fireworks display in New York, with firefighters dousing the flames shortly before 10 p.m. on the East River side while the bridge remained closed to traffic.
