HORN LAKE, Miss. – Fireworks were responsible for at least five fires during a three-hour period Sunday night, the Horn Lake Fire Department said.
One of those fires destroyed a man’s house as he slept inside.
Surveillance video shows what appear to be children setting off fireworks before and after one of the fireworks hit the carport of Billy Marshall’s home, setting it and his house on fire.
“I was just banging, ‘come on now, come on,’” said Karla Smith who told WREG she banged on Marshall’s door to wake him up.
