FDNY foils fireworks sales in Flatbush before Fourth

The FDNY busted a Brooklyn business owner for running an illegal fireworks operation out of a Flatbush warehouse this week, confiscating $250,000 worth of dangerous explosives just before Independence Day, officials said.

Lisen Pan, who runs Everbright Trading Co., was arrested Tuesday for allegedly selling fireworks labeled as “Morning Glory,” “Tomahawk,” “Roman Candles,” “Something Special,” “49 Shots,” “Brooklyn Fireworks,” “Short Circuit” and “Tec-9,” according to a Brooklyn District Attorneys Office criminal complaint.  

FDNY investigators began looking into the warehouse after Suffolk County cops alerted them that they arrested a man who told them he bought illegal fireworks at the business, officials said.

“There were many different styles — products that could cause fires here in New York City due to our tightly cramped nature,” FDNY Chief Fire Marshal Daniel Flynn said. “They land on roofs sometimes and they cause fires over the Fourth of July season.”

The fireworks were hauled away in a FDNY hazmat unit truck to be destroyed at the NYPD firing range in Rodman’s Neck in the Bronx, Flynn said.

Pan, of Queens, was charged with weapons possession, reckless endangerment and unlawful sale of fireworks, authorities said.
