A Palm Coast family’s Fourth of July ended in flames when their home in the P-section caught fire from spent fireworks.
The Palm Coast Fire Department responded to the structure fire at 11:14 p.m. on July 4. The home’s garage and the family’s two vehicles were ablaze, according to a Facebook post from the PCFD.
PCFD Lt. Patrick Juliano wrote in an email that firefighters had water on the fire by 11:16 p.m., and it was put out entirely by 12:26 a.m.
No one was injured, and all of the home’s occupants evacuated before the PCFD arrived.
The fire was caused by fireworks discarded in a trash can between the vehicles, according to the Facebook post. The homeowners said they had shot off the fireworks earlier that evening.
The home had significant smoke and water damage, the post said.
PCFD Engines 21 and 29, Ladder 25 and Battalion 25 all responded to the scene alongside Flagler County Fire Rescue’s Rescue 21, Engine 51 and Tender 92.
