Fire crews urge caution with fireworks
There are renewed warnings about the risks of using fireworks in the ACT, after fire crews were forced to put out dozens of grass fires last night.
A spate of fires in grassland, cars and a blaze in a block of units kept firefighters stretched to the limit for three hours from 8:30pm AEST.
The grass fires were mainly in the southern suburbs of Canberra while an empty unit was set alight on Eggleston Street, in Chifley.
No one was living there, as the unit block is being demolished.
