SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — Firefighters in western Nebraska say a late-night house fire was caused by fireworks.

The fire in Scottsbluff occurred late Saturday — the first night a local ordinance allows people to shoot off fireworks for the July 4 holiday.

Scottsbluff Fire Capt. Dan Hubbs says no one was injured, as the residents were not home at the time of the fire.

Hubbs says fireworks were shot into some bushes around the home, and the fire climbed up the eaves and into the attic. He estimated that about 25 percent of the attic space was damaged by fire.

Neighbors reported the blaze.
