Two houses in Edmonton caught fire Monday night due to fireworks from a Diwali celebration. Teena Andrews, whose house was affected, said, “I am Indian but today totally ashamed. This is not culture, this is carelessness.” She and her husband are still in shock. Police charged three men with arson and warned fireworks cannot be used without a permit. Community members also said Diwali does not require fireworks. Officials urged everyone to celebrate safely and responsibly. The names of those charged have not been released.
