Even legal fireworks can cause problems. Putting them in a bucket of water when you’re done might not be good enough. According to kcra.com a family in Elk Grove put their bucket of used, legal fireworks in a bucket. That bucket was put next to a garbage can which was next to the garage. The bucket smoldered, caught the garbage can on fire, and the garbage can caught the garage and house on fire. The 7 bedroom 5,500 square foot house was gutted. Fortunately no one was hurt. I can’t imagine trying to explain this to an insurance company. Here are some pics from KCRA reporter (and good guy) Mike TeSelle.
