CREWKERNE: Lit firework posted through letterbox
A LIT firework was put through the letterbox of a 70-year-old man in Hinton St George on Monday, November 1st.
It was just after midnight so may have been a thoughtless Halloween prank but police are investigating.
Three fire engines, from Crewkerne, Ilminster and Martock were all sent to the incident at Brettingham Court, along with a water carrier from Yeovil due to the nature of the building and the risk of spread to adjoining properties, but the fire was out before they got there.
The firework had exploded on the stairway causing a lot of smoke and the occupant was given oxygen therapy and conveyed to hospital because he had inhaled some smoke.
The damage was confined to some carpet and a coat.
