Fire officials say smoldering discarded fireworks sparked a blaze that caused $1.3 million in damage to a house near Hagerstown.

It happened Tuesday about 2:45 a.m.

State Fire Marshal says sparkling devices were put into a plastic trash can near the house and next to a gas grill. He says the fire went up the side of the house and across the roof.

Fire officials say 60 firefighters from across Washington County battled the blaze for more than two hours. Low water pressure in two fire hydrants made fighting the fire more difficult.
