It is featured in Holiday Hell with the location being Pennsylvania, United States.

It was introduced in 1 month after people when thousands of pounds of explosive power sits idle in a series of steel and sheds and concrete bunkers at a fireworks factory in rural Pennsylvania. The show gave information that in the time of humans, over 200 million pounds of fireworks were set off annually and it's twice the explosive power of the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. After people, the fireworks await a celebration that never come and the episode questions if the explosives are in danger of going off before answering that it happened in Denmark in 2004 which kills 1 person, injuring 17, damaging over 200 houses, and the final explosion resembled a nuclear mushroom cloud. In the United States, regulations require smaller buildings with each containing smaller amounts of explosives to prevent a massive explosion like in Denmark. 1 month after people, the fireworks and gunpowder lie dormant behind blast walls & bunkers and there'll be no fireworks display.

20 years later, trees and other plants have grown around the fireworks factory, and have begun infiltrating the concrete walls with their roots. The show gave information that fireworks were a dangerous way to celebrate and on average in the time of humans, fireworks injured nearly 10,000 people a year. Summer arrives, and the dry conditions are ideal for a wildfire to break out, which quickly approaches the building. Inside the deteriorating factory, water has dripped or flooded inside for at least 10 years. Gunpowder has a strange quality when wet, in that it is useless when damp, but stronger when dried out after getting damp, as the particles clump together. While this makes it burn less efficiently, it can explode with more power.

As the flames force their way inside, the fireworks quickly catch fire, and finally serve their purpose, exploding one after the other in an uncontrolled blast that blows apart the factory and erupts out of the natural bonfire, in a spectacle fit for any Fireworks Night or Fourth of July celebration.
