Worcester, Massachusetts – Two Polar Park employees received unwanted treatment from last Friday’s postgame fireworks show on September 26 postgame fireworks show.
Fireworks technicians complete a safety change on the following various items in the centerfield bank finished to the side, and launched horizontally, about left field, instead of vertically.
The individual show is under the supervision of the Worcester Fire Department and ballpark staff members, and the fireworks operator was closing the launch site.
One employee, responsible for the “safety zone,” was assigned to secure the fans who had suffered the most severe burns and was transported to a local hospital as a precaution. He returned to the ballpark later on that day.
The second employee was below in the field securing the grounds when the debris hit him; however, he remained in the field after the Emergency Medical Services technicians evaluated him. No other injuries were investigated.
