Fireworks in the hands of three foolish, undisciplined kids (two 12 y.o. boys, one 11 y.o. girl) on the edge of a steep, heavily wooded area with homes all around.... NOW will the idiots here in Thurston County who support their "rights" to set off fireworks at any time, anywhere, understand why so many other county/city residents don't want fireworks to be set off at any time in THEIR neighborhoods??? At least the kids admitted what they had done and didn't confound the problem by lying about it.... gotta give them that. But why didn't their parents know that they had fireworks and what they were doing with them? Kids of those ages should not be just turned loose without any supervision!!

21 acres at Beckett Point burned from fireworks-caused wildfire
Three juveniles playing with fireworks on Labor Day were the cause of a blaze that, fanned by high winds, whipped across 21 acres of hillside above Beckett Point, say fire investigators. [snipped]
Jefferson County Sheriff Tony Hernandez said three juveniles, all younger than 18, had admitted to their roles in the accidental fire.
“When we spoke to the juveniles, they admitted what had happened,” Hernandez said. “They were using a can of WD-40 to light bottle rockets. We’ll probably forward this to the prosecutor’s office and let them make a decision [on charges and prosecution].”
