Thatch fire blamed on fireworks

Firefighters are blaming the complete destruction of a thatched property in Devon on local children recklessly and illegally playing with fireworks.

Cdr Andy Newland from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue said: "We saw the total loss of a home because of a group of thoughtless young people."

The thatched cottage in Halberton burned down on Saturday night and eight fire crews tackled the blaze.

Youngsters were spotted letting off fireworks.
