Toll from fires blamed on Fourth of July fireworks is adding up

The toll from fires blamed on Fourth of July fireworks is adding up around Kansas.

In Hutchinson, authorities estimate the damage at $600,000 from a fire that left a home in ruins and killed a couple's two dogs. Investigators say Thursday's pre-dawn blaze apparently began when fireworks landed on the roof from somewhere in the neighborhood.

Fireworks are also suspected in several house fires in the Wichita area.

Even spent fireworks can spark a blaze. A house in Emporia went up in flames Thursday when two children put a couple of spent sparklers in the ground. The sparklers ignited dry grass under the front porch, starting a fire that spread quickly. No one was injured.

Iamgonnagetu: There are some people in this world not worth the energy or jail time, whocares would be one of them!! :) Someone with the mindset and personality like them are not deserving of the trouble you would get into if you were to pursue his ridiculous comment. The sole mission in life for him is to stir up sh@#!! He's enjoying himself the most when we feed into it. It's obvious he has a very pathetic life, anyone carrying that much animosity is in need of serious help. Don't waste your energy on him, he's not worth it yung'un.

Thanks granny my friends said they will find who this is but seeing how mad I am they will not share with me immediately for the reasons you mentioned. Attack me that is fine but when you keep attacking someone's deceased mother after they are made aware of it is another matter.

sking is right in away.. KSAL can get sued for breaking a privcy law. I realize we all talk and carry on and bs.. Everything on here is not meant to be taken personal.. I also realize we all say things that are nerve touching but its just bs and joking.. Its like what they say about bar rules, what happens at the bar stays at the bar.

Not so fast little boys its always who you know not what you know. But somebody great in computers can tap in also the security on Ksal cannot be that great. Besides someone dumb enought to say things like this on here will be bragging about it and word gets around this town. Just hope this guy blows him up away from my house.

I think that was pretty cool of the guy telling whocares to think of him whenever he goes to start his car. That will be a big firecracker.

SalinaSenior: There is NOTHING funny about someone commenting on someones DECEASED Mother!! We all do our share of trash talking on here, but making horrible, sick comments about a guys deceased mother is crossing the line!!!! You are right, we do all say some stupid things periodically, but, that is an area that should be OFF LIMITS!! WhoCares is a very mentally ill person, anyone that makes a comment about sex with a mans deceased Mother is in serious need of serious help!!

Granny is just jealous that WhoCares is not thinking dirty thoughts about her. It is apparent that iamgonnagetu showed up to a battle of wits unarmed, sharpen up your vocabulary skills and drop the juvenile threats that everyone knows to be diarrhea of the mouth. If you do not want your personal life to be made fun of then don't bring it up; this is not Dr.Phil or Oprah you jacka$s!

evilklown: Nothing to be jealous about, I'm sure I do not care to have someone with Whocares horrible mind thinking any thoughts let alone "dirty thoughts" about me!! Anyone that would make a comment about a deceased woman like he made is a very warped, sick individual!! Perhaps you are ok with that kind of thinking, if so I'm certain your parents find you and whocares an embarrassment, if they are not embarrassed by you both, they must be as horrible as you are!!

You are no better than whocares when it comes to attacking someones family, practice what you so puritanically preach. It is the religious fanatical squares like yourself that spread discontent in the world with your, "do as I say and not as I do" train of thought, so please do us all a favor; find the Jonestown Kool-Aid recipe and take a good healthy gulp.

EVILCLOWN I understand your gay so why don't you go to Thomas Park and gets a mouthful and choke on it and do salina and the world a favor. For you to attack someone on here that speaks the truth about different topics as granny does is down right wrong. If you have a problem of dealing with the truth then get the heck off of here loser.

If you are really effected by what someone says on here, you have more important problems. I invite everyone to talk bad about my dead mother. Do you know how much i will actually care? NONE,ZERO i could give a rat's a@# what they say. Some people need to stop being whiny children.

salina senior evidently you were raised in a gay home and you were taught to hate your mom by your gay dad and his male partner. How sad an individual you are.

With all of the homophobic comments made by Iamgonnagetu makes one wonder if he is the one in Thomas Park choking, perhaps the lack of oxygen has clouded his intelligence. One who passes judgement should expect to receive judgement; perhaps if your feelings are easily hurt perhaps you should be the one to leave.

GETALIFE674 sounds like a disciple of the Rev. Phelps, perhaps he/she should move to Topeka. He/she would be closer to the church of hate and would be able to protest more funerals of our fallen patriots.
