Emergency responders were called to three different reports of brush fires on 24 Dec., all of which were sparked by fireworks, according to the Department of Public Safety Communications.

The first incident occurred in Cayman Brac at around 2:43pm. Officers were called out to reports of a bush fire along Ethel Way, in West End. The fire was said to have been about 200 yards away from the main road, where an apartment complex was located. The blaze was caused by fireworks, a public safety communications employee said. Fire officers were dispatched and they located and extinguished the blaze.

The next incident occurred at around 8:31pm, this time along the Stepping Stone Drive area near Frank Sound Road, in North Side. Officers were called out to the bush fire, which was in an isolated patch of bush and posed no immediate danger to people or property in the area. It was quickly extinguished, the public safety communications employee said.

A few minutes later, at around 8:58pm, officers were called out to reports of another fire, which was again sparked by fireworks. The blaze, which was captured on video and shared on social media, could be seen rising high into the night sky. Dispatch personnel say they received reports that the fire was high enough to reach power lines. The flames were consuming a hedge near to a house, and a palm tree. Members of the public tried to extinguish the blaze but were unable to do so. Officers were able to quickly douse the fire.
