"There was pretty much just a disregard as far as fireworks laws went and as far as just, generally, the safety of everybody went," said South Metro Fire Rescue public information officer Eric Hurst Tuesday.
LaVon Scheitler and her children were one of the dozen or so families who had to evacuate. She took a photo of the flames as they raced toward homes. "Had the wind from that thunderstorm been pushing the fire towards those houses, there's a high probability we would have had damage to structures or complete loss of structures," Hurst said.
He said he hopes what happened Monday evening serves as a reminder of the dangers of using illegal fireworks, especially in dry conditions.
