NEW CASTLE — A fire that damaged a home Tuesday night was accidental, the State Fire Marshal’s office said Wednesday.

Spokesman Michael Chionchio said the just before 10:00 p.m., the fire started in the unit block of Onaway Place in the Garfield Park neighborhood. The Minquadale Fire Company arrived on the scene with flames observed on the rear of the dwelling, he added.

According to Mr. Chionchio, the fire was caused by discharged fireworks igniting the roof, causing an estimated $25,000 in damage.

There were no reported injuries as a result of the blaze, and the American Red Cross responded to provide emergency assistance to one adult.
