A house caught fire in the 6500 block of Kodes Clay Court in Spring on July 3.
The Harris County Fire Marshal's Office said the fire started in the garage due to improper disposal of fireworks.
"We cannot stress enough the importance of proper disposal of used fireworks," said Harris County Fire Marshal Laurie L. Christensen. "Used fireworks should be soaked in water and placed in a location far away from your home, such as the curb of the street. By doing this, reignition of the fireworks is greatly reduced."
Investigators said the homeowner placed fireworks in a trash can on top of cardboard materials in the garage.

Deputies said the man approached a fireworks stand and demanded money. The employee went to get the cash, and when the suspect placed the gun down to grab the money, the employee picked up the gun and shot him in the face.
