The explosion occurred on the back porch and the home was on fire when police and fire crews arrived. Police say a large amount of fireworks were found inside and around the home.

This is a Mendon Utah sacrament meeting on a July day in 1940. It has nothing to do with Independence Day, but I just really like it.
