An illegal fireworks display that went awry on the Fourth of July started a fire at a Rialto home and frightened neighbors who saw and heard the series of blasts.
Video shows a cache of illegal fireworks going off at once in the San Bernardino County community. Witnesses said fireworks appeared to shoot toward the ground, touching off a series of spectacular explosions in the neighborhood.
“There was a woman screaming, she didn’t know where one of her kids were,” said witness David Escobar. “So we ran initially into the back yard, and it literally looked like a bomb went off back there.”
Firefighters responded to the home near Chestnut Avenue and Home Street Sunday night. No injuries were reported.
