There was widespread “fear” in the crowd, as some shocked spectators tried to shield their children from danger, while others hid under chairs.
The fire lasted for three minutes before the officials put it out.
Authorities ruled, on the sidelines of the incident, that the truck should not have been so close to the public and that the thin sheet of plastic was not enough to protect the fireworks from the dynamite.
