Fourth of July celebrations turned to catastrophe in the Denver metro this year–multiple people left without homes overnight after fires that started due to fireworks.

South Metro Fire Rescue crews arrived at around midnight to a home on Pebblewood Ct. in unincorporated Douglas County to find a garage on fire with flames shooting into the attic.

Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies helped people out of the home as SMFR crews attacked the fire and rescued several dogs and cats, all of which were reported safe.
