We’ve been getting numerous reports of “big bangs” and “loud explosions” from all over the District. This is not uncommon as we approach July 4th. These are not “traditional” fireworks. They are very, very loud explosive devices. You will probably hear one in the coming weeks. They don’t always result in fire but you can see from the photo above how powerful they can be.
Jerry reported: “Big bang came from NoMa at 4:44 AM. Flames outside 100 Florida Ave NE put out quickly by 4:46 AM”
Jesse reported one earlier near Adams Morgan: “This one set off car alarms”
