West Bloomfield firefighters responded to a blaze early Thursday morning that was started by used fireworks left in a garbage can leaning against the house.

Fire Marshal Byron Turnquist told the Free Press that the family set off the fireworks to celebrate July 4th, then placed them in the trash can and went inside. When family members heard popping, they went to investigate and discovered the bin and the side of the house was on fire.

The family reacted quickly, using fire extinguishers to put out the flames that they could see. "They thought they had put the fire out," Turnquist said, "but it was in the attic (too)."
At that point the family called 911. Firefighters arrived and put out the fire. No injuries were reported but there was "significant damage" to the house, accoridng to Turnquist.

Turnquist stressed safety when using fireworks, and recommended that used fireworks be placed in pails or bins of water before throwing them away. He also emphasized that "while fire extinguishers are a great tool, don't delay calling 911.

"If you think you can put a fire out with your extinguisher, that's great. But first, call 911."
