Fireworks Disasters: Homes Destroyed and Lives Displaced
Two homes in Parker, Colorado were destroyed after fireworks were improperly disposed of, causing a fire that spread between the houses. Firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading to neighboring homes. No one was injured, but two families were displaced. The fire was caused by a fountain-style firework placed in a plastic recycling bin against the garage. Authorities remind people to soak fireworks in water overnight and dispose of them properly to prevent accidents.
