There's a firework store and warehouse that you inevitably pass on the highway, when driving between Toronto and Montreal. It's just across the Quebec border, on Highway 20. Yesterday it burned.

Not as big of a boom as West, TX but a nice show.

Suck that people always get hurt with these... I say it's a lack of pre-planning by the company and local FD.

This place was a landmark, that had been around forever. I remember going by it in the '70s, in the family station wagon on the way to New Brunswick, and we'd stop off to buy some 'sploders.
