Someone targeting homes with fireworks and bottle rockets, according to Pebble Creek neighborhood residents – WYFF4 Greenville

Residents in an Upstate neighborhood are on high alert after fireworks were shot into their yards, porches, and onto their front steps. "It is scary to go to bed not knowing you know if I'm going to be targeted again with a firework and where it's going to end up," said Annie McCuen, a Pebble Creek neighborhood resident.McCuen has lived in the neighborhood for a couple of years, but she says she's never seen anything like this. She says her house was one of several targeted this week. "A bottle rocket that had exploded in my front lawn," she said. "Luckily there was no damage done to my house, but unfortunately, I don't know if everyone else in the neighborhood was as lucky as we were. But I've heard of four other neighbors that have had a similar situation happen to them."Taylors Fire Battalion Chief Ricky Burgess says this time of year can be extremely dangerous. "This time of year, with the wind, the high winds and the dry seasons, this is grass fire season through these three months. They are very dangerous. You've got to be very careful when shooting them off. They don't need to be directed toward any houses." The Taylors Fire Department is still looking into these incidents.
