Boy causes £270,000 damage with firework
A schoolboy caused £270,000 of damage to a block of flats after setting off a firework in his bedroom.
The 11-year-old, not named for legal reasons, lit a rocket in his bedroom in the Austrian capital Vienna, but it flew into curtains and set them on fire.
The blaze spread quickly and soon engulfed his room and then spread to the rest of the flat and to a neighbouring flat and another apartment above.
The entire block of flats was evacuated as fire fighters battled to put out the flames.
No one was hurt but two flats were totally destroyed and others damaged and authorities have put the cost of repair at £270,000.
