Brooklyn pedestrians were forced to scatter, flee and hit the floor this Fourth of July after one unidentified woman decided against pointing her Roman candles into the sky and elected instead to fire them down the streets of the borough's Crown Heights.

But that doesn't stop a lot of folks in the Land of the Free (to set things on fire). "I've lived here about 10 years and it's pretty consistent year-to-year," one longtime resident, referencing firework use, told CBS New York.

While police have not identified any injuries related to the Roman candle celebration, they are reportedly searching for the woman who carried out the act, according to local reports.
