A Sea of Firecrackers Exploding

In the village of Nanwan, Guandong province, China, local residents annually detonate a pile of firecrackers spread over an open street. This is part of a ceremony in which a local god is removed from a temple and paraded through the streets in order to bring good fortune for the next year.
What could possibly go wrong?
Actually, nothing did. This inflammatory activity was conducted safely. There were no reported injuries or damages resulting from it.
