Lake road in Pembroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pembroke Assistant Fire Chief Edwin Mileham says he heard a big explosion just as he was going to bed, a few minutes later his pager was going off.  Mileham, who lives about 4 miles from S. Lake road, says when he arrived on scene fireworks were exploding all over the place and the box truck was fully involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driver of the truck was able to self extricate and call 9-1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;All of a sudden he saw sparks and then a loud bang, then he pulled over and got out,&#8221; says Mileham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driver was not injured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mileham says fire crews on scene were able to use a deck gun on Pembroke&#8217;s engine and stay about 30-40 feet away and cool the fire down.  Flames were as high as the power lines and debris from firework explosions extended 1,000 feet down the road and into yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter
