The new year didn’t get off to a very good start for a family in Council Bluffs. KETV in Omaha reports Council Bluffs firefighters were called to a home near 36th Street and A Avenue shortly after 1-a.m. today (Tuesday). The fire was reported to have started in the back of the house. A neighbor told the station they thought fireworks placed by the porch may not have been fully extinguished, but a Council Bluffs Fire Department battalion chief could not immediately confirm whether improperly disposed fireworks were the cause of the fire. No injuries were reported. The incident remains under investigation.
