Careless fireworks starts fire at St. Ben's

Neighbors --

According to a report in the Cincinnati Enquirer, fireworks are to blame for the July 5 fire at St. Benedict Church. Fortunately, the fire department was able to contain the fire and limit much of the damage to the bell tower. However, this is a perfect example of how carelessness has resulted in unnecessary and 100 percent preventable damage. Please keep this in mind when you see your neighbors setting off illegal fireworks displays.
