No One Hurt As 'Malfunction' Cuts Fireworks Short In Wheaton

According to a statement shared on the City of Wheaton Facebook page, an operator for the show had a malfunction with one of the fireworks, which led to the rest of the show being canceled. Officials say this was done "as a precaution" and that members of the Wheaton Fire Department were onsite throughout the incident.
