Fireworks cause over $200k in damages in unincorporated Pierce County

Fireworks-related incidents over the Fourth of July weekend caused over $200,000 in damage in unincorporated Pierce County, according to the Pierce County Fire Prevention Bureau.

The bureau responded to four separate incidents totaling $207,000 in damage, all attributed to the improper use and disposal of fireworks.

On July 4, fireworks fallout landed in a wave boat at a home in Puyallup, destroying the boat and its trailer. Additionally, fireworks lit in a field in Spanaway burned an RV parked nearby.

In another incident, spent fireworks were placed in a plastic trash container against an exterior garage wall at a home in Puyallup. The trash container caught fire, burning the wall and attic space of the garage.
