It wasn’t New Year’s Eve, but one Central Texas town had quite the fireworks display.

A fireworks stand in Georgetown, north of Austin, caught fire on Monday, shooting fireworks through flames and smoke.

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office shared footage of the chaos on Twitter just before 3 p.m. The stand was located on Country Road 972.

Some Twitter users compared the incident to a premature New Year’s Eve display, while others related it to the Snakes and Sparklers scene from “Joe Dirt.”
