A house fire fueled by fireworks killed a 32-year old father of three in Roseville.
Billy
Tavernier was in his living room at 2:30 a.m. Monday when fire engulfed
his home. Police are still investigating, but believe that he may have
fallen asleep smoking a cigarette.
Tavernier had 4-5 cases of
fireworks inside his home when it caught fire which prevented emergency
crews from getting in the house to help him. Travernier's daughter
turned 16 the same day her father passed away.
