The neighbors that were playing LOUD MUSIC WERE LETTING OFF FIREWORKS IN THEIR BACKYARD , I been home ALL DAY AND KNOW THIS. They are RESPONSIBLE for setting the other person(s) house on fire from letting off fireworks in a close vicinity. They do this EVERY single year and now they’ve went too far! An entire family has been displaced and it infuriates me that a small child was inside the home. MY HOUSE could’ve have caught fire, and my child or me could have been seriously injured. I hope all charges are pressed and prosecuted to the fullest extent of law and they are FULLY responsible for the damages that was done to that house. It’s frustrating considering I called TWICE prior to this incident. I’m LIVID for the family that was displaced.
Make sure you reach out to fire investigators and go to bat for this family if that is the case.
That was my neighbor’s house. I am praying for him.Such a nice man who didn’t deserve this.
Lol shits crazy HR14 HR9 gong crazy rn respect to all the Fire Fighters up there!
I called TWICE on the loud music and the safety hazard of all those cars obstructing traffic that almost caused an accident at the corner of lantana and cedar earlier and NOTHING was done and now somebody home is on fire. They are going to jail and getting sued out the frame smh, they do this ghetto shit every year!
