Fireworks Spark UT House Fire

Unified firefighters are trying to identify the people who were setting off the fireworks that started the blaze that left one family homeless.

A Utah family is now homeless after fireworks sparked a blaze that destroyed their home.

The Magna family told KSLTV.com they heard fireworks being set off but didn't think too much about it until they started smelling smoke.

Unified Fire investigators determined one of those fireworks fell onto the property, triggering the fire.

The family escaped the fire without injury, and are staying in a motel.

After the fire, flyers were left on doors of neighboring homes urging them to refrain from setting off fireworks. However, they continued.
