Mother Nature had quite the main character entrance for Pound Ridge’s July 4th fireworks
By Pound Ridge Volunteer Fire Department

Shortly after 8pm, minutes before showtime, the fireworks were cancelled and the park was evacuated ahead of severe weather. During the evacuation Pound Ridge Fire assisted with shutting down road traffic so families could walk along the evacuation route.
Concurrently with the evacuation, PRFD handled multiple emergency calls as the storms passed: hazardous conditions, an MVA with injuries, and a mutual aid tanker run for a house struck by lightning.
We hope everyone made it home safely and rain or shine it was still nice to see everyone.
