Angola -- Tri-State University fraternity members were lighting fireworks in the basement of their house before an early morning fire erupted, officials said.
Smoldering fireworks likely ignited towels on the floor in a small basement bathroom in the Sigma Phi Delta fraternity house, Angola Fire Department spokesman T.R. Hagerty said. Smoke alarms woke up fraternity members, who reported the blaze just after 6 a.m. Sunday. The seven people in the house had gotten out by the time firefighters arrived, and no one was injured, officials said.
The fire caused about $15,000 in damage.
