Summary
A Fourth of July fireworks blast in Chino injured multiple people and left a car fully engulfed in flames, according to witness video and aerial footage.
Witnesses said a large group had gathered in the street when some fireworks exploded too close to the ground, triggering a powerful blast that scattered people.
AIR7 footage showed debris strewn across a front yard and the street after firefighters put out the flames, with one witness describing the explosion as house-shaking and loud enough to resemble a gas-line blast.
Chino police and the Chino Valley Fire Department had not yet confirmed the number of injured people in the immediate aftermath.
