A firework gets lit on a fence post. It spins until there is nothing left.
The rings read clockwise, each answer beginning just after a bar. An answer may pass the top of the wheel on its way round, but no answer leaves its own ring. The spokes read inward from the rim. Every square belongs to a ring answer and a spoke at once.
Nine clues carry an extra word that the wordplay never uses. Solve those as though it were not there, then read the first letters of the nine in clue order. They give two words (6,3).
One answer is a proper name.
