Fireworks were the cause of a small field fire that briefly threatened homes near Angus Dr. Park in Belgrade, according to Fire Marshal Bruce Hennequin with the Central Valley Fire District.
Hennequin told MTN News firefighters were able to get the fire under control quickly before it spread to the surrounding homes. No injuries have been reported so far in connection with the fire.
The man who set the firework off reportedly complied with firefighters and identified the firework as a "smoke bomb."
Hennequin said firefighters had a busy night on Saturday, and that this fire is a good reminder of the dangers of fireworks.
Several calls on Saturday night were fireworks-related, according to Hennequin, including one that destroyed an attached garage in the Landmark subdivision in Belgrade.
No further details about Sunday's fire were available. We will update you if we get more information.
