A teenager in Idaho was arrested after setting off fireworks and starting a fire that burned 28 acres. The 16-year-old has been charged with third-degree arson, according to a Facebook post from the Eagle Police Department on Thursday.
The boy was with a group of teens in Ada County last Saturday when he allegedly announced he wanted to set off a mortar-style firework. These fireworks are launched through a tube and then spark in the air.
The other teens said they told him not to do it in case a fire started.
