One South Carolina community got a huge,Tags early unexpected fireworks display for the holiday weekend when a fire broke out in a fireworks store giving new meaning to "the rockets red glare."

Fire officials told WCNC that no one has been reported injured by the fire and subsequent fireworks explosions and that the cause is till under investigation though investigators do not suspect foul play at this point.

Here's hoping that, despite the unplanned display, there's still plenty of firepower to treat residents to a grand Fourth of July display.
