As a fireworks display operator this is so fascinating to me. They should have consulted an experienced fireworks professional for the large coke bottle sized devices. Everything else could have been driven elsewhere without HazMat permits.
The resident who stored the product is a jerk to his neighborhood in all ways. But even he could have been asked what those canister shells did.

Yeah but why consult experts when you have a totally sweet bomb disposal truck? Dale said it looks like it can handle it, so we’re all good.

As a layman, what would have happened if they'd soaked those devices in water, and driven them out to the desert for later burning?

Way less broken windows for sure. Safest way would have been to send the up in the air. Canister shells like that are packed with power.

You would think when the bomb disposal truck gets called out, they call out the bomb disposal expert to evaluate and manage the situation. Nah. "Fill 'er up!"
