World's Largest Firecracker Sculpture: world record in Amargosa, Nevada

Amargosa Valley, Nevada, United States--In the middle of the Nevada desert, next door to Alien 51 Alien Center is Alamo Fireworks; a large 28-foot tall "M-800" firecracker which stands just right of the firework shop sets the world record for being the World's Largest Firecracker Sculpture, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.

"An advertisement for a fireworks store, it's some kind of industrial tank, topped with a big fuse and labeled as an "M-800," the Roadside America reports.


"The giant firecracker decor disguises a large water tank for the fire sprinkler system of the fireworks megastore. You can see the piping and valves behind the tank. Apparently the government required the sprinkler system for this building in the middle of nowhere, where a fire could do no harm."


"Looks like a re-purposed water tank at Alamo Fireworks Company. Impossible to miss as you're whizzing by on Hwy 95 ... you can probably see it from at least a mile away, and it's literally right next to the road."

"In the middle of the Nevada desert you'll find the World's Largest Firecracker! Next door to Alien 51 Alien Center is Alamo Fireworks," the Fotospot reports.


"This firework chain can be found mostly throughout Texas, so this is the only one in Nevada. A large 28-foot tall "M-800" firecracker stands just right of the firework shop. The firecracker is really a cleverly disguised water tank (used for the stores' inside sprinklers) painted red with a green fuse on top!"

"In Amargosa Valley, next door to the Alien 51 Alien Center is Alamo Fireworks. Alamo Fireworks is a chain of firework shops, mostly found in Texas. This is the only one in Nevada," the Weird Nevada reports.


"Standing just to the right of the firework shop is a large 28 foot tall water tank used for the store's sprinkler system. In order to disguise the tank, it's been painted up red with a fake green wick or fuse on top of it. It is labeled with "M-800 World's Largest Firecracker". Alamo has a similar giant water tank disguised and labeled as the World's Largest Firecracker also in Chaparral, New Mexico."


"Located on Highway 95 at the junction of Highway 373 (which leads to California and Death Valley), stop by the Area 51 Alien Center which is a convenience store and gas station, (...) and finally buy some fireworks at the World's Largest Firecracker. Who could need any thing more!"
