GREENVILLE – On July 6, 2025, two adult males were injured while preparing for the City of Greenville’s annual fireworks show, which was scheduled to begin at approximately 10:00 p.m. on the same date.

One individual was transported to Wayne HealthCare for treatment, while the other was airlifted via CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital for further medical care.

The incident is currently under investigation by the State Fire Marshal’s Office, with support from the Darke County Sheriff’s Office.

Due to the seriousness of the event and out of an abundance of caution, city officials and the fireworks team have made the decision to cancel this year’s fireworks display.
