Investigators found no witnesses who saw the fire in its initial stages. A park representative told officials that the property was secured at the time of the incident. While security cameras are active at the location, none of them were facing the outfield.<\/p>\n
Based on the investigation, Dallas Fire-Rescue classified the cause of the fire as accidental, determining that an open flame from fireworks came into contact with ordinary combustibles on the field’s synthetic playing surface.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n
