We had one go shooting straight at one of the kids this year after he light it, too. It was also very close to three adults. Then it hit the metal garage door and was like the loudest noise ever.
We also put out a legit fire that night. One of our neighbor's that we do not know, light all their stuff and then just put it all in a cardboard box and left it. No watering it down or anything. It was a few feet high and right next to their plastic mailbox when I said, there's a fire. My husband and a neighbor kicked it over and started stomping on it while I banged on their door screaming that they had a fire and we needed water. When they finally came out with a small bucket of water, they acted like it was no big deal. Ugh.
