The incident happened around midnight when people started blasting firecrackers in the normally peaceful and quiet neighbourhood.

The fire consumed much of the house’s thatched roof while household property worth thousands of dollars was destroyed, although no fatalities were recorded. When The Sunday Mail visited the house yesterday, it was all rubble and smoke at the property.

A resident at the property, Mr Breit Spark, said the incident happened at midnight when he was sleeping. He said he heard a loud bang of a firecracker exploding and moments later he found the house had caught fire. He added:

_I am very certain it was a firecracker that ignited the house._

_We got assistance from neighbours who came quickly to assist with getting some of the furniture out._

_Were it not for the kindness and assistance of neighbours and the dedicated hard work from the fire department, things could have been much worse._

Harare City Council fire chief officer Mr Clever Mafoti confirmed the incident adding “our team responded swiftly to the incident and managed to save some section of the house.

In 2019, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said members of the public wishing to launch fireworks and firecrackers during the crossover are obliged to first notify neighbours and secure police clearance, noting that the fireworks pose a serious danger to humans and animals.
