No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Two fire engines were used to put out the blaze, the city&#8217;s fire department said. Firefighters were seen dousing the flames shortly before 10 p.m. on the bridge, which had been closed to traffic during the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A department spokesperson said such fires are not unexpected and are why officials keep crowds at a distance during fireworks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">(MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/articles\/keep-four-legged-friends-safe-203212841.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Keeping pets safe during fireworks;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Keeping pets safe during fireworks&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Keeping pets safe during fireworks<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The show was moved up early because of the threat of severe weather that canceled and delayed other celebrations along the East Coast.
