St. George woman still out of home after fire caused by 4th of July fireworks
ST. GEORGE, Utah — A family in Southern Utah hopes their story will help others celebrate this Pioneer Day safely, when it comes to disposing fireworks.
The family was celebrating with fireworks on the Fourth of July. “We went to bed and the next thing we know, we smelled plastic burning and when my daughter opened the garage, she saw the flames and screamed, call 911.” A fire forced them out of the home they were renting.May said her son-in-law put the fireworks out, and then placed them in the garage. “He says he hosed them off really good, he says I made sure they were completely out, but apparently they weren’t,” she said.
But the fire destroyed their garage and burned some special memories -- baby pictures and important pieces of their lives they won’t be able to get back. “My husband died last year and his military uniform, all of his pins, hit hat, everything was destroyed in the fire,” she said. “Money can't replace that, you just kind of hope you remember.”
