Fire at the Crook Point Bascule Bridge in Providence - 4k 24FPS

[@jabbermocky4520]

I saw the blaze from my 3rd floor window on Walnut St. in East Providence. Wonder what this will do to plans for an art installation on the old red bridge. Guess we'll know more in the morning. ( this had to be an arson. I can't imagine how the thing could catch fire and burn like that on its own. )

A couple boaters I talked to at the scene said they saw people shooting off fireworks and that was the cause of the fire. Not sure if was intentional or not, but obviously not a good idea.

@@airplaneian Yep, fireworks were my first thought. They have become a menace to neighbors on both sides of the river in the past year or so. Stunning video. Did you use a drone?

@@jabbermocky4520 This was just a Sony mirrorless camera with a long telephoto lens. I was shooting from the Gano St. boat ramp.
