The fire department said the homeowner, her sister and pets all got out safely.

The homeowner was not involved with the fireworks that struck her house, and they were instead set off by neighbors in the subdivision, officials said.

Firefighters also responded to many grass fires throughout the community due to the drought, according to the tweet.
