BAHA, 14 October 2007 — Children playing with fireworks in and around the city of Baha were blamed for 21 fire accidents since the start of Eid celebrations on Friday.

In one incident, the fireworks set fire to timber in a downtown warehouse but the fire was extinguished before it spread, local newspapers reported yesterday.

In another incident a car was reduced to a charred iron from a fire set off by fireworks on Friday. A pop bottle rocket launched by some boys landed inside the parked car. People in the neighborhood extinguished the fire shortly before the Civil Defense team arrived.
