Long Island house goes up in flames after 11-year-old sets off fireworks
In Nassau County, a Levittown father is facing a long list of charges after police say the fireworks he gave his son caused their house to go up in flames. An arson bomb squad was called in to investigate. CBS New York's John Dias reports.

Many parents on long island do, especially if their parents are cops. It’s not a good thing, I’m just saying. Some parents don’t care because “it’s independence day”… 😔
Landlord is NOT getting insurance, unless this was a legal rental. On Long Island, these are all zoned as single family homes.

America's problem
An 11 year old with fireworks and matches. I'm grateful that I didn't live next door to that. That's just crazy.
I WOULD HATE TO ADD HUMOR TO THIS but in the PC game The Sims, there is an option to buy fireworks and light them off. When you do, everyone stands around and laughs and claps and has a good old time. This is when you have the fireworks outside. If you light them inside, the house catches on fire and depending on how many people are in the house at the time, the furniture and people can start burning. You hear their screams as they die from being burned alive. Its quite a disturbing event that, if you ever did it, you would be sick in the head to want to do it again on purpose. The Sims creators tried to teach gamers a life lesson here. Obviously, this 11 yo and their father never played the game.
The fireworks he gave his son.....???? ......What an idiot!!! .....He should also be charged with being a complete and total idiot!!!!..... It's a miracle noone was hurt!!!!..... This is the reason fireworks should only be handled by professionals!!! 🙄🙏

Somebody's Insurance isn't going to pay that's why they do a lot of charges at that guy. It'll be a tear down and a vacant lot. And the HOA is probably very upset about that.
Was it fireworks? Or, was it a sparkler or something smaller along those lines? My parents and may other parents let their kids use sparklers. Remember writing our names in the air with sparklers?

There needs to be way more extreme laws to get rid of fireworks it should be strictly for professional use at parks beaches and so forth. This nonsense of people in their backyards and in the street is absolutely ridiculous in the last few years I've never seen so many people shooting fireworks my neighborhood for 5 hours straight sounded like a war zone. Put these firework shops out of business in every state and keep it a one day a year Professional Event end of story. COMMON SENSE AND REAL PATRIOTS MATTER 🇺🇲

No mention of Nassau ACS:BCW visits or custody change? Thankful no 1 was injured/hospitalized. Sorry for the affected upstairs tenant and next door neighbor. Dude should be thankful it’s not 1956 Levittown with Restricted Covenants.
This is why i never rent to anyone with children. They get bored when the parent lets the ipad babysit their kid. Then they do stuff like this....also, how does a firework malfunction in this case? They lit it, and it blew up, is this not was it was supposed to do?
Of all comments here, it doesn't have to be fireworks to cause a fire of that magnitude. Playing with matches or lighters, or even horrible accidents with stoves, ovens, or even grills can cause a fire of that magnitude too.
