A lit firework smashed the window of a house in Preston while a mother and her child were inside.
The mum was showered with broken glass when the firework came through the window of her home in Miller Road, Ribbleton, at 7pm on Saturday October 27.
The five inch rocket burnt the carpet and some bedclothes.
A group of local youths admitted to the incident and stated it was an accident.
The occupier of the property has decided not to make a formal complaint and although police from Preston have spoken to the youths, no further action will be taken.
It comes as the police, fire service and Preston City Council launched the Bright Sparx campaign last month to clamp down on youngsters causing trouble with fireworks in the run up to Bonfire Night.
