CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Fire Department had to battle a stubborn brush fire Tuesday night in the Molina neighborhood thanks to fireworks.
The flames kicked up just before 8:30 p.m. off Cliff Maus and SPID. Many nearby homes were threatened, but fire crews were able to keep the flames from reach the homes.
Investigators said illegal fireworks within the city limits were the culprit. A 3News crew at the scene could still see fireworks being set off nearby as firefighters worked to contain the blaze.
