Illegal fireworks are suspected cause of Poway brushfire; residents watching professional shows suddenly saw 'the hill on fire'
SAN DIEGO - Illegal fireworks are the suspected cause of a brush fire that sparked as families gathered to watch a fireworks show in Poway on the Fourth of July.
“I think about a minute prior, we saw a random bottle rocket go up to our left. I thought it was kind of close, but didn’t think anything of it,” said Burch.“Maybe the daughter or the mom yells, ‘The hill is on fire!' or something like that. I look over and see a glow coming from down below,” said Burch.
“We were feeling nice and toasty, as we’re going by. Luckily, it was early in the stages, but it was definitely scary,” said Burch.“They were scrambling around the fire, saying they didn't want to go to jail,” said Burch. “Winter rains created a lot of growth in our grass crop. Now that grass has started to cure. The brush on this hill was dry and ready to burn,” said Mitchell.
