Fireworks were blamed for a series of fires Monday as police and firefighters scrambled to respond to a high volume of fireworks- related calls and noise complaints.
In Greeley, fire officials said kids playing with fireworks were suspected of causing a blaze that caused extensive damage to a home.
When firefighters arrived at the 1700 block of East Seventh Avenue, they found the front porch in flames.
No people were injured, but firefighters recovered the bodies of two dogs from inside the home, according to the Greeley Tribune.
Fireworks also were suspected in several structure and grass fires in metro Denver, including a commercial building on the 3800 block of Newport Street in Denver and an attic fire that caused considerable damage to a home in the 4700 block of Crystal Street in Denver.
