Mashpee, MA (July 5, 2025) — A fireworks mishap at the New Seabury Country Club on Cape Cod left two people injured just hours before a planned holiday show.
According to reports, the incident happened around 4:30 p.m. on July 2 when a truck loaded with fireworks for the show exploded at the country club. Witnesses described hearing deafening bangs that shook nearby homes and sent plumes of smoke high into the sky. Some neighbors initially thought a plane had crashed into the area due to the force of the blast.
One victim, reportedly a worker for the fireworks company, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence. A second individual was transported to Falmouth Hospital with minor injuries. Six others were evaluated at the scene but declined further treatment. The fireworks show was canceled, although the country club continued with other planned festivities for families. Officials are now investigating the cause of the explosion and have stated that any remaining fireworks will be safely detonated.
