WASHINGTON COUNTY (KFSM) -- Multiple neighborhoods in Fayetteville and Farmington woke up Sunday (Feb. 14) to the sound of explosions.

Don Keller, and his wife, were jolted awake when they heard the sound of fireworks.

“We heard a giant boom. My wife looked out the window and yelled ‘fire’,” Keller said,

The Keller family owns a home security system, which showed someone was plotting to explode a mailbox.

“You can see them stop right in front of our house. And he puts together their bomb,” Keller said.

For an unknown reason, the car passed the Keller’s home, and the driver placed a set of fireworks in the mailbox of their neighbor.

Seconds later, families were out trying to salvage all they could from being burned.

“The ladies were beating on the doors [to wake people up], and the guys were putting out the fire,” Keller said. “Everybody pitched in. They ran in and put out the fire, and made sure everyone was out of their homes. Great community effort.”

Police continue to search for who was setting those fireworks off.

In the meantime, Keller said he wanted whoever was responsible to know one thing.

“We are going to get you. They don’t realize that people have surveillance, and idiots that do this are going to get caught,” Keller said.
