TWO fire engines were sent to the house of Mario Balotelli last night � after a firework went off in his bathroom. The Manchester City striker escaped unharmed after the late night incident at his Macclesfield home.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service discovered a fire in the bathroom on the first floor, with four firefighters dousing the flames using their hose.
A spokesman for the fire department said: "Crews managed to put the fire out within half an hour of arriving but remained at the scene until 2.45am to prevent any possible flare-ups.
"Smoke alarms were fitted at the property and the occupiers were able to get out unharmed. The fire was caused by a firework."
The cause of the blaze is being examined by fire investigators and police but is not being treated as suspicious.
