A family had a lucky escape after a firework set their home alight at the weekend. The firework ignited an oil tank outside the house, at Iveagh Drive in west Belfast, and the flames spread to a sewerage system nearby. The back of the house was completely destroyed by the fire, but the occupants were in a different part of the building at the time and escaped injury.
