(GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich.) — A Michigan man who tried to use fireworks to remove a bees' nest from his garage ended up burning the building down instead.

MLive reports crews responding to the home in Grand Blanc Township on Monday saw fireworks shooting into the sky from the burning garage. No one was injured.

Grand Blanc Fire Chief Bob Burdette says the homeowner was trying to use a smoke bomb to get a bees' nest out of the garage.

Homeowner Mike Tingley says that while he's sad about his garage, he's happy the incident wasn't worse.
