A man who put a “powerful firecracker” in a piece of PVC pipe had an “unexpected result” that scared residents in the Old Orange Historic District Friday night, said Detective Captain Robert Enmon.
People living in a two to three block radius were jolted by the explosion about 8:15 p.m. The explosion was in a yard on Seventh Street near Cypress Avenue.
Enmon said the man, who was visiting a resident, came forward about the explosion. The captain said the man was warned about the dangers of putting fireworks in containers.
