Fireworks can be dangerous and a Michigan man can testify to that after he tried to use fireworks to remove a bees’ nest from his garage but ended up burning the building down instead.

Authorities say no one was injured while fighting the fire in Grand Blanc Township.

Grand Blanc Fire Chief Bob Burdette says the homeowner was trying to use a smoke bomb to get a bees’ nest out of the garage.

Homeowner Mike Tingley says that while he’s sad about his garage, he’s happy the incident wasn’t worse. Tingley says “everyone is safe and that’s the main thing.”
