Crews Prep To "Light The River"On Fire

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Zambelli is putting on a big show this weekend, but it's not going just going to light up the sky with their trademark fireworks. Crews are getting ready to "Light The River" on fire!

The show, which coincides with the Pitt Panthers' first game of the season, will be a combination of flames and fireworks.

Organizers say it will appear as though the Allegheny River is on fire tomorrow night as flames shoot up to 100-feet into the air.

In preparation for Saturday's spectacular show, crews tested the flame-shooting devices on the river today.

"If you're standing over on the shore over there, you'll be able to feel the heat," Zambelli CEO Doug Taylor told KDKA-TV.

The show will also include Zambelli's trademark fireworks, choreographed to music! It's all set to take place on the Allegheny River after the Pitt-Buffalo game at Heinz Field.
