WINSTON-SALEM, NC (WGHP ) — A family’s fireworks celebration ended with their home on fire, according to the Winston-Salem Fire Department.
At about 1:13 a.m. Wednesday morning, firefighters responded to 1805 Center Street.
Fire officials say a family set off legal fireworks in a trashcan but did not properly dispose of them after.
The fireworks ignited the trash can and lit the house on fire.
The home did not have smoke alarms but a police officer from the North Carolina School of the Arts saw the fire and helped get word to the family.
The fire was reportedly under control by 2:02 a.m.
No one was injured, but six people have been displaced.
It is unclear whether or not the home is a total loss.
