A family in Texas had to rush into action after their 12-year-old son lit the lawn on fire with one of his Christmas gifts: a magnifying glass.
This photo posted to Nissa-Lynn Parson's Facebook shows her family cleaning up after one of her sons accidentally lit the lawn on fire on Christmas Day. TORONTO -- A magnifying glass causing a rapidly-spreading fire may sound like hijinks straight out of a comic book, but for one family in McKinney, Texas, it was simply Christmas morning., the camera pans across a wide, blackened section of lawn, where Christmas lights are wilting under sprinkler spray.
“Everything was under control,” Parson said in the post, “until the boys came running into the house telling us that a corner of the lawn was on fire and the Christmas lights were melting!”They sprang into action, grabbing buckets, turning on the sprinklers and fetching a blanket to smother the fire before it could spread to any other homes.
