Hundreds of pounds of fireworks explode, destroying homes and injuring firefighters

A massive explosion of hundreds of pounds of fireworks this week rocked an island community in Western Washington, destroying several homes and injuring five people, including three firefighters, according to officials.

The fire was likely caused by someone smoking too close to where stored fireworks were kept at a home in the Lagoon Point neighborhood, Central Whidbey Island Fire & Rescue Chief Jerry Helm told FOX 13.

“They’re kind of like a little ticking time bomb, and you’re not sure when they’re going to go off,” Helm said of fireworks.

Three firefighters were injured in the explosion after they responded to a call of a house fire in the neighborhood Wednesday afternoon, the Island County Sheriff’s Office said in a Thursday release.

Two of the firefighters are now recovering at home and the third is expected to leave the hospital soon.

Two civilians took themselves to the hospital before first responders could evaluate them, the release said.

The sheriff’s office said it will determine after the investigation if any criminal charges are warranted.

Fireworks are fun, but you sure do have to handle them with care.

At least no one was killed.
