left overs from fire works are the debris that fall unexploded or burnt from the firework, one can never know where they will fall due to the explosion and the wind. I remember when I was his age I used to go gathering the unexploded petards and unburnt color pellets. By the way the fireworks team would have already have burnt (with permission) the surrounding fields to avoid such accidents however no one is perfect and boys that age will always tend to do such things.
