Three Sacramento Teens Charged After Fireworks Thrown Into Plant Nursery

Sacramento, California — July 2026

Three teenage girls in Sacramento have been charged with felony offenses after authorities say they threw fireworks into a plant nursery, causing significant damage and prompting an emergency response.

According to investigators, the incident occurred when fireworks were allegedly tossed into the business, igniting a fire that spread through parts of the nursery. Firefighters responded quickly and were able to bring the blaze under control before it spread to nearby properties.

No injuries were reported, but officials said the fire caused extensive damage to plants, structures, and inventory.

Following an investigation, law enforcement identified and arrested three teenage girls in connection with the incident. Prosecutors have filed felony charges against the juveniles. Because the suspects are minors, authorities have released limited information about their identities and the court proceedings. As with all criminal cases, the allegations have not been proven in court.

Detectives reviewed surveillance footage, physical evidence, and witness statements as part of the investigation. Officials have not indicated whether the incident was intended as a prank or was a deliberate act of vandalism.

The case has renewed concerns about the dangers of fireworks, particularly when used in commercial areas containing flammable materials. Fire officials reminded the public that illegal or reckless use of fireworks can quickly lead to destructive fires and serious criminal consequences.

The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities say additional details may be released as the juvenile court process moves forward.
