MARTINEZ, Calif. – Two minors were arrested Tuesday afternoon after fireworks they set sparked a brush fire in a residential neighborhood.
The fire was reported around 2:30 p.m. July 26, in the vicinity of Hollyview Drive. It began in the deepest part of the canyon, spreading across an open field and close to another canyon lined with homes before firefighters were able to take control of the blaze.
According to ConFire’s Captain George Laing, had a fire engine not have been so close, residences may have been threatened.
No injuries were reported, and no structural damage occurred.
Charges against the minors are pending.
