Rescuing a drowning boy, setting off fireworks

I'm in an overcrowded swimming pool. A toddler is drowning right in from of me. I take him out of the pool, his body is limp and flat like an uncooked pizza crust. I try holding him a few different ways to get the water out of his lungs and succeed at getting him to breathe by laying him on his stomach and turning him over once it seems most of the water is out.

I have a cardboard box of fireworks that is set off, perhaps unintentionally. They all go off more or less at once. There's a second metal box of fireworks. An alien sets fire to fumes coming out from the closed box. The fumes burn like a blowtorch for several seconds, then the box explodes very powerfully with a single crack of military explosives and blinding white flash. As the smoke clears, I look to see if anyone near was injured. It seems everybody is OK.
