Officials believe illegal fireworks caused a fire that damaged an apartment building on Arborwood Lane early Monday morning.
The fire department says it broke out about 12:30 a.m. at the apartment off LaGrange Avenue. They say burning debris from a rocket fell into some bushes next to the building and set the brush on fire. The flames spread up the side of the house and damaged the apartment. The family that lives there wasn’t home at the time.
The investigation continues and officials are reminding us that fireworks are illegal in Monroe County except for professional displays.
