AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL: Fireworks Store Set On Fire, Caught On Video

There were no initial reports of injuries.

The fire -- and firework show stemming from it -- was any child's dream. The selection that ignited all at once was extensive:

"Bottle Rockets, Firecrackers, Artillery Shells, Fountains, 500 Grams, Aerial Cakes, Packaged Assortments, Roman Candles, Ground Spinners, Parachutes, 16,000 Firecracker Roll, Sparklers, Snakes, Smoke Balls, and Much More!" according to its Facebook page.

Smoke could be seen from miles away and "every road" to the store was closed by police and fire units, ABC57 reports.

The fireworks store, which occupied two connected buildings, also sold antiques, according to FOX28.
