To the Fire Starting Boys

You who started the fire.
Come Forward, turn yourself in.
Expose where you got your "Safe and Sane" fireworks.
Where were they purchased?
Where where your parents when you were lighting the fireworks.
Where were you supposed to be?
What were you supposed to be doing?
Who was your adult supervision when you lit the fireworks?

To the Parents of the BOYS. You need to help them step up to the responsibility of their actions. You need to step up to your actions. The community also needs to step up to the reality of the situation. Leaving the situation un resolved is not a good thing for any of the parties involved.

You put your "Pleasure or Fun" ahead of the safety of yourself, and ahead of the safety of the community.

Adults put the fireworks in your hands, by making them legal, buying them, and leaving them where you could get your hands on them. The cause of the fire is more than the actions of 2 boys. They lit the match, but, much transpired up to that point for which they are not accountable.

No homes or lives were lost. No significant injury was caused to people. LUCKY this time.
